Rice Pudding
Why I Love This Recipe
My dad gave me this recipe and it works every time!
Notes: You can definitely use brown rice, or basmati or jasmine for extra fun. Also, raisins are always more fluffy, amazing, and tasty soaked for a while in a bit of lime juice.

1 qt milk (dairy or otherwise)
1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp (uncooked)long grain white rice
pinch salt
1/2 cup plus 1 Tbsp sugar
2 egg yolks (you can use egg substitute of course)
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp grated nutmeg
1/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup heavy cream (or non-dairy creamer)
1 Tbsp dark rum

Bring to a boil, then simmer until rice is tender.
