1/4 teaspoon table salt

# Instructions:
01 -
Boil 2 cups of water in a big pot. Stir in the rice, cover it up, and let it simmer quietly for about 20 minutes. Following package directions might help get perfectly cooked rice, which should yield roughly 3 cups of cooked rice.

Once your rice is done, pour in 2 1/2 cups of milk and the salt. Stir everything together nicely. Simmer this mix on medium heat, stirring often, for 15 to 20 minutes until thickened and bubbly.
03 -
Add the sugar along with the remaining 1/2 cup of milk. Gently mix the whisked eggs into the pot and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the eggs start thickening.
04 -
Stir in the vanilla extract and butter. If you'd like, toss in the raisins now too for extra texture and sweetness.
05 -
Serve it warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Sprinkle some cinnamon over the top for that perfect finishing touch.
