Easy Rice Pudding (Milchreis)
Serves 810 mins prep30 mins cook
This easy rice pudding recipe is one I grew up with in Germany. Simply combine rice with milk, vanilla bean, sugar, and a little butter, then let it simmer and thicken. I love to top my Milchreis (that's what we call it in Germany) with cinnamon sugar, warm cinnamon apple sauce, or hot cherries for a warming afternoon treat, dessert, or even a meal!

Instructions
1 On medium high, melt butter in a large pot, then add the washed rice for 1 to 2 minutes. 2 Add the milk, sugar, and vanilla bean seeds and pods (or vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract). Combine with a spoon bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. 3 Once boiling, set to low, and cover with a lid. 4 Let simmer for 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through. 5 The rice pudding is now ready to eat and can be served warm or cold. I love topping mine with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar or hot cinnamon apples or hot cherries (you could use warm pie filling if you like it sweeter).View original recipe
