How to Make Old Fashioned Rice Pudding With Meringue

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a medium bowl, beat 2 large egg yolks until light and fluffy.
In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup of uncooked long-grain rice, ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup raisins, 4 cups whole milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.
Gently stir in the beaten egg yolks.
Pour the rice pudding into a greased 2-quart casserole dish. Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, beat the 2 reserved egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add ¼ cup granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Spread the meringue evenly over the rice pudding.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned and the pudding is set.
