1/2 c. rice (heaping)
1 qt. milk
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 c. raisins
1/2 c. half and half (or more)

First butter a 9 x 13 inch pan. Mix together rice, milk and sugar. Bake at 335 degrees for approximately 1 hour. Stir occasionally. IF the rice is soft and the mixture is dry add half and half. Add raisins. Finally add vanilla. Bake 5 or 10 minutes longer. This recipe requires much tasting and stirring. Don't plan on leaving the kitchen. Yields 8 servings.
