Ingredients

• 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cups water
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2/3 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Bring the rice, butter, and water to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
2. Whisk together 2 cups of milk, flour, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract in a bowl, and pour the milk mixture over the cooked rice. Stir to combine, and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Stir in 1 cup whole milk, the cream, raisins, and cinnamon until thoroughly mixed, and allow to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm or cold.
