Sugar
120 g
Rice flour
40 g
Vanilla extract
2 tsp
Salt
0.25 tsp

Instructions
Rinse the rice
Rinse Carolina rice under cold water until water runs clear to remove excess starch.
Boil milk
In a large pot, bring 1 liter of milk to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Add rice
Add rinsed rice to boiling milk. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
Prepare thickener
In a small bowl, mix rice flour with 100ml cold milk until smooth to create slurry.
Thicken pudding
Gradually add rice flour slurry to rice mixture while constantly stirring. Continue cooking for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
Add sugar and vanilla
Add sugar and vanilla extract. Stir until sugar completely dissolves, about 2 minutes.
Rest and serve
Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm or chilled, dusted with cinnamon.
Storage
Cover with plastic wrap touching surface to prevent skin formation. Stir before serving.
