Let’s make it.

  1. Rinse rice briefly, drain and place in a heavy saucepan with milk.
  2. Bring just to a simmer while stirring; reduce heat so the milk barely bubbles.
  3. Cook 30–40 minutes, stirring frequently, until rice is tender. Add a splash of water if it thickens before the rice softens.
  4. Stir in sugar and vanilla and serve warm. For cold servings, cool promptly in shallow containers and refrigerate.
