Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the rice, sugar, half and half, water, evaporated milk, butter, and salt, and mix together until blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and 2 cups of water. Pour the egg mixture into the rice mixture, and stir until combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Place in preheated oven, and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until golden brown and creamy.
- Once out of the oven, let cool for 30 minutes before sprinkling with cinnamon and adding the raisins if desired.
Notes
- Make sure to stir the pudding every 15 minutes while it is baking in the oven, to ensure that it cooks evenly and doesn’t burn.
- If you want a more custard-like texture for your pudding, add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to the wet ingredients before pouring it into the baking dish.
- For added flavor, try adding orange or lemon zest to the pudding.
- If you want a more caramelized flavor, add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar to the wet ingredients before pouring them into the baking dish.
