Bring the rice, water and salt to a boil and simmer until the water is absorbed (about 15 minutes). If the rice isn't plump and fluffy enough you can add some more water.

Stir in the milk, sugar, raisins & vanilla and cook uncovered over medium-low heat for 30-40 minutes, stirring frequently. You are looking for it to be thick, but not firm.

Dish into bowls and sprinkle with cinnamon
