Rice Pudding

Ingredients

• 2 cups cold water
• 1 cup uncooked white rice
• 2 cups milk, divided
• ⅓ cup white sugar 
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg, beaten
• ⅔ cup golden raisins
• 1 tablespoon butter 
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

• Pour water into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat; stir in rice. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
• Combine cooked rice, 1 ½ cups milk, sugar, and salt in a clean saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until thick and creamy, about 15 minutes.
