Ingredients
- 1 cup Rice, Uncooked
- 2 Eggs
- 1 quart Half-and-half
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- 1 stick Butter
- 3/4 cups Raisins (optional)
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla
- Cinnamon To Sprinkle
Method
- Prepare rice according to package directions. Rice should be tender but firm when done. Set aside.
- In a small bowl combine eggs and 1/4 cup of the half-and-half. Set aside.
- In a large pan combine remaining half-and-half, sugar, salt and butter. Over medium heat bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Then lower the heat just a bit and continue to cook at a low boil for 3 minutes. Then add prepared rice and cook for 5 minutes stirring frequently with a whisk to prevent burning and to insure rice does not clump. Continue to cook until your desired tenderness then remove from heat.
- With an electric mixer, mix the egg and half-and-half mixture on high until foamy. Very gradually stir the egg/milk mixture into the hot rice mixture. Put it back over medium-low heat. Add raisins and continue to cook until mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and pour into a shallow baking dish or into individual bowls. After mixture cools slightly, sprinkle generously with cinnamon and serve warm.
