Baked Rice Custard

My grandparents really liked rice custard (pudding), I think this is the recipe that they usually made.

Baked Rice Custard

[Julius’s recipe—my grandfather]

Bring to boil: 3/4 cup packaged precooked rice, 3 cups milk, and 1/4 cup raisins. Mix: 2 beaten eggs, 2/3 cup granulated or brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Add hot mixture, stirring. Pour into baking dish, and bake in pan of hot water in 375° oven, 35 minutes, stirring several times during first part of baking. Serves 4 to 6.

Try 1/2 cup sugar—too sweet
