- Preheat the oven to 325° F (165° C). Lightly butter a 4x6 or a 5x5-inch baking dish.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, and vanilla.
- Stir in the rice and pour into a small baking dish.Pro Tip: I use a 4x6-inch baking dish that has a base area of 24 square inches. You can also use a 5x5-inch baking dish with a base area of 25 square inches or a 6x6-inch dish which will yield a thinner pudding and may bake faster.
- Boil a kettle of water to make a water bath. Place the baking dish with the rice pudding into a larger baking pan. I use either an 8x8-inch pan or an 8 or 9-inch round pan. Pour the boiling water into the larger pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the rice pudding dish.Place the pan on a rimmed sheet pan which will make it easier to transfer into and out of the oven.Pro Tip: This is called a water bath or a bain marie. A water bath is a dish of water used to bake recipes requiring gentle, even heat. It insulates the dish so that it doesn't overcook. Please don't be put off by this, it's incredibly easy. You will need to find a pan that will comfortably hold your small baking dish while maintaining an inch or more of space around the sides for the water. A small to medium-sized roasting pan works well.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, until lightly browned and set.
- Enjoy with whipped cream, if desired.

Ingredients:

- Combine 5 cups of the milk, sugar, and salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently so the sugar doesn't scorch on the bottom of the pan (watching carefully, as the liquid will quickly rise to the top of the pan.)
- Once milk is boiling, add rice and reduce heat to low/medium-low, adjusting to maintain a gentle simmer (it should still be bubbling.) Cook, stirring every 1-2 minutes while scraping the base and sides of the pan with a wooden spoon, until mixture is thick and rice is tender, about 22 minutes. (NOTE: the ratio of milk to rice in the beginning will seem ridiculously high, but it will reduce and thicken, I promise!)
- Temper the egg: in a large measuring cup, whisk together the egg and remaining 1/2 cup milk. Slowly pour 1/2 cup of the hot rice into the egg mixture, then add that back into the pot; stir to combine.
- Add in the raisins and cinnamon; cook for another 3-5 minutes or so, stirring constantly, until raisins plump and pudding is thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla.
- If pudding seems too thick, you can add in 1/4 cup extra milk, only if needed to loosen and achieve desired consistency.
- Pour mixture into individual custard cups or bowls and serve warm with a little drizzle of milk and sprinkle of cinnamon. (The rice pudding will continue to thicken as it cools. Thin out with more milk if desired.)
- NOTE: making rice pudding is so easy, but its success is all in the details. Read the full article for FAQS, helpful info, and storage. Directions for making this recipe without the egg is below.
