Categories     Simmer     Boil

Yield serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup long-grain white rice
One 3-inch-long cinnamon stick
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups whole milk
1 cup sugar
5 large egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Place the rice in a bowl and add hot water to cover. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Then drain the rice, discarding the soaking liquid.
  • Combine 2 cups water with the rice, cinnamon stick, and salt in a medium-size heavy saucepan set over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil; then reduce the heat to low, and cover the pan. Simmer for 18 minutes, or until the mixture is dry. Add the milk and sugar and cook over low heat for 30 minutes, or until the mixture begins to thicken.
  • Whisk together the egg yolks and vanilla in a small bowl. Carefully remove 1/2 cup of the hot liquid from the rice mixture and whisk it into the egg yolk mixture. Whisk the egg yolk mixture back into the rice in the pan. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, over low heat for 3 minutes, or until the mixture coats the back of the spoon. Do not boil. Stir in the raisins. Cool the mixture slightly. Serve warm, or cover and refrigerate overnight and serve chilled.
