I wanted a snack the other day and thought I would try this recipe. It turned out really nice. Thick and creamy yet not to sweet, perfect!

Ingredients

3/4 cup uncooked white rice

2 cups milk, divided

1/3 cup white sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 egg, beaten

2/3 cup golden raisins (Optional)

1 tablespoon butter

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

In a medium saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. In the same saucepan combine cooked rice, 1 1/2 cups milk, sugar and salt. Cook over medium heat until thick and creamy, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup milk, beaten egg and raisins. Cook 2 minutes more, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and stir in butter and vanilla. Sprinkle with nutmeg or cinnamon, if desired. For creamier pudding, use short or medium grain rice.”Serve warm.
