Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine 0.5 cup rice, 4 cups milk, 0.25 cup sugar, and 0.25 tsp salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring often, until bubbles form around the edges, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered, stirring every few minutes, until the rice is tender and the mixture thickens to a creamy porridge, about 15 minutes. The pudding should coat the back of a spoon.
Step 3
Stir in 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon. Pour the pudding into 4 small bowls or ramekins. Sprinkle extra cinnamon on top if desired.
Step 4
For a browned top, place the bowls under a hot broiler for 2-3 minutes until the surface is golden and caramelized. Watch closely to avoid burning. Serve warm or chilled.
