Step 1

In a saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil over medium heat, then stir in the uncooked rice. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the rice simmer until it’s tender and has absorbed all the liquid, which should take about 20 minutes.

Step 2

In a separate saucepan, combine the cooked rice, 1 1/2 cups of milk, sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture becomes thick. This should take about 15 minutes.

Step 3

Add the remaining 1/2 cup of milk, beaten egg, and raisins to the rice mixture. Stir while cooking for another 2 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until combined.

Step 5

Serve the creamy rice pudding warm, and enjoy!
