Rice Pudding

Speaking of leftover rice, here's what my family likes for me to make with it...rice pudding.
I love this recipe, because many rice pudding recipes require you to cook the raw rice in the milk and spices, and this one uses leftover rice. Frankly, rice pudding is not something I plan ahead for, so this recipe is a winner.

Rice Pudding
2 cups cooked rice
2 cups milk, divided
1/3 cup white sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg, beaten
2/3 cup raisins
1 T butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg

In a medium saucepan, combine cooked rice, 1 1/2 cups milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Cook over medium heat until thick and creamy, 15 to 20 minutes, then add raisins. In a separate bowl whisk together 1/2 cup milk and egg. Carefully whisk about 1/2 cup of hot rice mixture into milk and egg, then whisk that back into the sauce pan. Cook 2 minutes more, whisking constantly- mixture should just hit a boil. Remove from heat, stir in butter and vanilla. Serve warm.
