Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
  2. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  5. Stir in the butter and vanilla extract until the butter is melted and incorporated.
  6. Separate the eggs, discarding the whites, and beat the yolks in a small bowl.
  7. Slowly pour about 1 cup of the hot rice mixture into the beaten egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
  8. Pour the egg-rice mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining rice mixture, stirring well to combine.
  9. Return the saucepan to medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, just until the mixture begins to bubble and thicken.
  10. Serve warm or chilled, garnished with toppings if desired.
