Quick and Easy Cinnamon Raisin Rice Pudding

1.Rinse the long grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

2.In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

3.In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.

4.Once the rice is cooked, add the butter and raisins to the saucepan and stir until the butter is melted and raisins are evenly distributed.

5.Slowly pour the egg and milk mixture into the rice while stirring constantly to prevent curdling.

6.Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes until the pudding thickens to a creamy consistency.

7.Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving. The pudding will continue to thicken as it cools.

8.Serve warm or chilled, optionally sprinkled with a little extra cinnamon.
