Cooking Steps
  1. In a medium pot, combine the short or medium-grain white rice, milk, and sugar. Stir gently as you bring to a gentle simmer over low heat.
  2. Once simmering, add the warm cinnamon and butter. Stir frequently and simmer for about 30-35 minutes, until the rice is tender and creamy.
  3. During the last few minutes of cooking, stir in raisins or dried cranberries if using.
  4. Remove from heat, and if using an egg, stir it in for a richer consistency. Let cool slightly before serving.
  5. Serve warm or chilled, optionally sprinkle a little cinnamon on top for garnishing.
