Rice Pudding (no raisins)

I love rice pudding, just minus the raisins. I'm also a flan and custard fan too. You can thank my mom for that! I don't mind! Really. This recipe isn't gourmet, but definitely hits the spot!

Serving: 4

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup uncooked white rice
• 2 cups milk, divided
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg, beaten
• 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 until cooked.

• In another saucepan, 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 and vanilla. Serve warm.

Note: You must temper the egg before you add it.
