Creamy Rice Pudding - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 c. sugar
1/3 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
2 1/2 c. milk
2 c. cooked regular rice
2 eggs
1/2 c. raisins
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
2 tsp. vanilla

Preparation

In medium saucepan, combine sugar, flour and salt. With wire whisk, stir in milk until smooth; stir in rice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened and begins to boil, about 10 minutes. Boil 1 minute. Remove from heat. In small bowl, beat eggs. Slowly add about 1/2 cup hot pudding mixture into eggs while stirring constantly with spoon. Slowly pour egg mixture into pudding mixture, stirring rapidly to prevent eggs from lumping. Add raisins, cinnamon and nutmeg. Return pan to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes, until very thick and just starting to bubble. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Serve warm or chilled. Top with whipped topping, if desired. Makes 4 servings.
