Serves: 6   Total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

• 6 cups cooked white rice (about 930 g)
• 4 cups milk (about 960 g)
• 2 cups water (about 480 g), plus more as needed
• 1/3 cup brown sugar (about 73 g) or maple syrup (about 105 g)
• 4 tablespoons butter (about 57 g)
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon (about 5 g)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla (about 5 g), optional
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (about 3 g)

Directions

1. Put the cooked rice, milk, water, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt in a large saucepan.
2. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring often so the milk does not scorch.
3. Reduce the heat and cook for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is very soft and the porridge is creamy.
4. Add another splash of milk or water if it becomes thicker than your family likes. Serve warm.
