Old Fashioned Rice Pudding

Bring rice, butter, salt and water to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove rice from heat and let cool down completely.

Once rice has cooled, transfer it to a greased or buttered casserole dish. Top with raisins (optional).

Preheat oven to 325ºF.

In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs for about 1 minute. Add milk, sugar and vanilla and continue to mix until well combined.

Pour the mixture over the rice and bake in oven for about 2 hours or until the pudding is lightly browned and set. Garnish with ground cinnamon and nutmeg.
