Rice Pudding

2/3 cup uncooked rice
1 1/3 cup water
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup raisins
2 cups milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
ground cinnamon to taste


Combine rice and water in a covered saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce heat; simmer for 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 325. Remove rice from heat and let stand, covered, 10 minutes. Stir together egg, rice, sugar, raisins, milk, vanilla, and salt in a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake uncovered 50 to 60 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pudding is done when a knife inserted halfway between center and edge comes out clean. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon if desired. Serve warm or cold; refrigerate any unused portion.
