Ingredients

2/3 c. long grain rice
2 1/4 c. water
2/3 c. sugar
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. salt

2 Tbsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla

Preparation

In medium saucepan over medium flame, bring rice and water to a boil.
Simmer over low flame, covered, until rice is very tender and most of the water is absorbed, about 25 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine sugar, cornstarch and salt; stir into hot rice with half and half.
Stirring constantly, bring to a boil and boil 1 minute.
Turn off flame; stir in butter and vanilla.
In small bowl, slightly beat egg yolks; gradually stir in about 1 cup of hot rice mixture; stir back into remaining rice mixture.
Stirring often, cook over medium flame just until mixture starts to bubble. Let stand at room temperature and serve warm.
