Delicious, Creamy Rice Puddin'...

In all my years of livin' on this here planet, I have NEVER had rice puddin' until recently.
I guess the thought of rice in puddin' just sounded bad to me.

But this sweet treat now has me hooked!!
So here's a recipe I found but tweaked just a bit.

Try it, you'll like it!!

3/4 cup uncooked white rice
2 cups milk, divided
1/3 cup white sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg, beaten
2/3 cup golden raisins (Optional)
1 Tbs butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp cinnamon

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.

Combine 1 1/2 cups 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,vanilla and cinnamon. Serve warm. (Or cold if you like)
Then dig in!!

NOTE: I used long grain rice and 3/4 C uncooked makes more than 1 1/2 C cooked. So it's best to measure it out.
Also add the remaining milk FIRST then the beaten egg.

Let me know what you think...
