Rice Pudding

Makes 4 servings

Time: about 30 minutes

I never liked rice pudding until I made this!

• 1 cup cooked rice (I used Basmati)
• a few dashes of salt
• 2 1/2 cups milk
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2/3 cup raisins (optional)
• 1 Tbsp butter/margarine
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• Cinnamon to taste

1. Combine rice, 2 cups of milk, sugar, and salt in heavy saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until thick and creamy (15-25 minutes).
2. Blend remaining 1/2 cup milk with egg. Stir into rice mixture.
3. Add raisins, if desired.
4. Cook 2 minutes longer, stirring constantly.
5. Add butter, vanilla, and cinnamon.
6. Spoon into serving dishes.
