2 cups Water
1 cup Long Grain White Rice
1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk
¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt
¼ cup Whole Milk more as needed
1 large Egg beaten
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 Tablespoon Butter
½ cup Golden Raisins
Ground Cinnamon and/or Nutmeg
Optional Stir-ins cocoa powder, fresh fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, coconut, etc

In a medium heavy bottomed pot with a tight fitting lid, cook 1 cup of rice according to the package directions.
When rice is tender and all the water has been absorbed, add the sweetened condensed milk, salt, and raisins. Cook and stir over medium heat until thick and creamy consistency. About 8 to 10 minutes. Stir constantly to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pan.
In a small bowl, add beaten egg to ¼ cup milk.
Remove rice from heat and stir in butter and egg/milk mixture. Cook on medium-low heat for 2 minutes more or until desired thickness. Add a splash of milk if too thick.
Add vanilla, butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to taste.
Serve in individual bowls either warm or cold. Cover leftover rice pudding with plastic wrap and place in fridge.
