Creamy Rice Pudding

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 cup long-grain rice
• 1 (13 1/2 ounce) can evaporated milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Raisins (optional)

Instructions

1. In a 4 quart microwave-safe casserole, combine whole milk and rice.
2. Cover and microwave on HIGH (100% power) until milk is absorbed by rice (7 to 9 minutes).
3. Stir in evaporated milk, vanilla extract, sugar, egg and cinnamon.
4. Cover and microwave on MEDIUM (50% power) until rice is tender and liquid is nearly absorbed (8 to 10 minutes).
5. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes; pudding will continue to absorb liquid, and rice will soften.
6. Serve warm or cold.
