Rice Pudding (With Raisins)

Submitted by Late Night Gourmet

"My wife - an undisputed authority on rice pudding - told me that this is the best rice pudding she's ever had, despite the fact that she doesn't like raisins. I do, however, so I'm keeping them in."

• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 12

ingredients

• 1 cup white rice
• 2 cups warm water
• 1 2⁄3 cups half-and-half
• 1⁄2 cup skim milk
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 1⁄4 cups golden raisins
• 2 tablespoons light butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

directions

1. Bring two cups of water to a boil. Stir in rice and reduce heat to Low. Simmer for 20 minutes, covered, stirring occasionally until the water is absorbed.
2. Stir half-and-half, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt into the cooked rice. Cook on medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and clumping. Continue for about 15 minutes, until thick and creamy.
3. Stir in egg, skim milk, and raisins and cook for another 5 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla extract.
