creamy rice pudding

so lately i have been obsessed with eating rice pudding, i love it. so i thought i would share the recipe that we use

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
1)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.

2)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.

*****we dont use rasins since none of us like them, and we also add cinnimon to taste at the same time that we stir in the butter and vanilla*****


This recipe may also be made using Splenda® instead of sugar. Use 1/3 the amount. This is an easy way to enjoy this great creamy recipe but cut down on the sugar and calories.
