Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°. In small sauce pan over medium heat, bring rice, water and salt to boil. Reduce to low boil, cover, and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from heat. While rice is cooking, place milk and 1/2 cup pecans in small sauce pan. Bring just to a boil and remove from heat. Cover and let sit for 15 minutes. Strain milk mixture into medium bowl. Discard cooked pecans. Stir in maple syrup. Add eggs and egg yolk, vanilla and cinnamon. Stir until blended. Stir cooked rice into milk mixture. Place in 6 cup greased soufflé dish. Place soufflé dish in a large roasting pan. Fill roasting pan with hot water until about half way up the soufflé dish.

Serve with whipped cream and sprinkled with remaining pecans.
