Easy Stovetop Rice Pudding

To make this Easy Stovetop Rice Pudding, combine the white rice, only one cup of milk, and salt over medium heat. Give it a good stir. Allow it to cook for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, stir in the remaining 1 cup of milk, the egg, sugar, butter, and vanilla extract. Cook the mixture for 10 more minutes. Then, remove it from the heat. Allow it to rest until thickened to your liking. Then, simply serve and Enjoy! It’s as easy as… well, pudding!
