Rice Pudding

Rice pudding is probably one of our favorite recipes to make. So easy and delicious! 

You need: 

-3 tbsp butter, 6 cups whole or 2% milk, 3/4 cup sugar, 2 cups uncooked rice

-1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/3 tsp vanilla extract, 2tbsp brown sugar

Rub a little butter on the inside of the slow cooker. This will help the pudding not to stick. 

Place all ingredients in the crock pot and cook and gently stir. Place a few pieces of small butter in. Cover and cook for 3-4 hours. Rice should be soft and plump. You can add more milk depending on how thick you want it. Season with cinnamon or raisins.
