• 3/4 c. medium-grain white rice
• 1 1/2 c. water
• 2 1/2 c. 1% milk
• 1 Tbsp. butter
• 1 Tbsp. honey
• 1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
• 1 Tbsp. kosher salt
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
Directions
1. In a medium saucepan, add rice and water and bring to a boil. Lower heat to a gentle simmer; cover and simmer 10 minutes or until all water is absorbed.
2. Add 1/3 of the milk: stir, cover and leave until the consistency thickens. Add a little more milk every time the consistency thickens (approximately every 5 to 10 minutes), repeating until all the milk is used and the porridge is thick and rice is tender. The entire process should take about 45- 55 minutes.
3. Add butter, honey, sugar, salt and vanilla extract; stir well. Turn off heat and serve porridge in bowls topped with a small pat of butter (optional), cinnamon and dried cranberries.
*Will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
