My husband grew up with his mother making this recipe for him.  It brings back fond memories for him.  He has helped me learn to make it, so that we can pass similar memories on to our kids.  My youngest can't get enough of it. This recipe makes a more custard like rice pudding than the typical recipe would make. A wonderful, healthy treat for a cold winter day.

2-3 C. Rice, mostly cooked
3 C. Milk ( you can use coconut milk to give it a bit of a tropical twist)
3 Eggs
2/3 C. Sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 to 11/2 C. Raisins
1/4 tsp. Nutmeg (freshly ground gives the best flavor)

Put cooked rice into a baking dish. Combine the milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla and pour over the rice.  Add the raisin and nutmeg.  Bake at 350 degrees for 1-1/2 hours, until the it has set up like a custard.  Serve warm with a bit of cream, or you can enjoy it just as much cold.

    I can testify, having had this recipe before, that this pudding is as delicious as it is unique. You will NOT find this anywhere else!
