This creamy rice porridge is the kind of breakfast that wraps you in warmth from the very first spoonful. Slowly simmered rice turns silky in milk, with just a touch of sweetness and a knob of butter melting through. It is simple, gentle, and endlessly comforting on a quiet morning.
Ingredients
- 100 g rice (1/2 cup)
- 250 ml water
- 300 ml milk
- 15 g butter
- 1-1.5 tbsp sugar (or sweetener)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Rinse the rice well.
- Cover with the water and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until all the water is absorbed.
- Pour in the milk, add sugar and salt, and simmer on low for 15-20 minutes until creamy.
- Stir in the butter at the end and serve warm.
Tips
- Stir often during the milk stage so the porridge stays smooth and does not catch on the bottom.
- For an extra-silky finish, let the porridge rest for five minutes off the heat before serving.
- Top with berries, honey, or cinnamon to suit your mood. For more breakfast inspiration, Serious Eats and Allrecipes are both great places to explore cozy morning recipes.
