I haven’t made rice pudding in years. This was a great recipe I am keeping. I found out I prefer my rice pudding cold versus warm. I used dark raisins but that’s my preference. Any amount of raisins will do. I remade this in April of 2014 and I found that 1/3 cup of dark raisins suits us just fine. Be sure to turn your heat off when you add the egg/milk/raisins, otherwise you may get scrambled eggs. I stirred constantly while slowly adding the egg. ENJOY! (A dash of cinnamon on top when it’s done doesn’t hurt either. Unless, of course, you’re allergic to cinnamon, which I have heard!).
