Grandma's Rice Pudding

Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 300 degrees and set oven rack to a middle position.

2. 2

   Butter or spray an oven-proof casserole dish (6 cup) with non-stick spray. Mix the milk, rice, sugar and salt in the casserole.

3. 3

   Bake, uncovered, for 2 hours at 300 degrees, stirring every 30 minutes. While mixture is in the oven, let raisins sit in a small bowl of warm water to soften them up.

4. 4

   After two hours, drain raisins and add to pudding. Stir in the vanilla and nutmeg and bake another 30 minutes.

5. 5

   (Depending on your preference, the consistency of the pudding can be firmed up with a little more rice, or less firm with more milk. Oven temperatures vary, so keep an eye on your pudding and adjust baking time accordingly.).
