Step 1

In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and add the rice. Cover the saucepan and simmer for 20 minutes.

Step 2

In a separate saucepan, combine the cooked rice, 1 1/2 cups milk, sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 15 to 20 minutes or until thick and creamy.

Step 3

Pour the remaining 1/2 cup milk, beaten egg, and raisins and stir for 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat and mix in the butter and vanilla.
