How to Make Mom's Baked Rice Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the rice, milk, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and butter. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the raisins (if using).
  5. Pour the rice pudding into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the pudding is set and lightly browned on top. Check for doneness with a toothpick - it should come out clean.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or cold!
