Old Fashioned Rice Pudding - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 c. milk
1/2 c. regular long grain rice
1/3 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Preparation

In a 4-quart saucepan, heat the first 4 ingredients until boiling.
Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until rice is tender, stirring occasionally (45 minutes to 1 hour).
In small bowl, beat the eggs slightly; stir in small amount of hot rice mixture. Slowly pour egg mixture back into rice mixture, stirring rapidly to prevent lumping.
Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes (do not boil).
Remove from heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Cool in refrigerator until chilled, about 2 hours.
