Comfort Food Rice Pudding

It's perfect if you are craving rice pudding and have no milk or eggs. I love this, rich and flavorful but it's best if you eat it on the first day.

Ingredients

• 1  cup  short-grain white rice (such as pearl rice)

1. Put rice in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water (I use a sauce pan w/ water in it on bottom and a stainless steel pan on top).
2. Add salt and 3 c water.
3. Coverand cook till rice is tender, about 30 minutes.
4. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, butter, and raisins if desired.
