(This can all be done with a wire whisk or a hand mixer)

Mom's notes:
-
10
I use 3 cans of milk in mine.
-
11
The more canned milk, the richer the body of the rice pudding is.
-
12
(Also more calories) Using 2 is just fine.
-
13
I also use 1 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon and 3/4 teaspoon of Nutmeg.
-
14
I just like more spices.
-
15
Especially Nutmeg.
-
16
However, you can over due on the spices.
-
17
These measurements are about right.
-
18
If you don't like as many raisins and you just want a light sprinkling throughout, cut your raisins to 1/4 cup.
-
19
When adding regular milk, this is done to adjust the liquid ratio to the rice.
-
20
I estimate at least a cup to 2 cups of milk are added.
-
21
More if you like more juice, less if you like more of a ricey, creamy mixture.
-
22
However, if you don't enough liquid, you can get a scorchy, very brown effect.
-
23
Nasty!
-
24
When I bake mine, I set the timer for 25 minutes.
-
25
At this point, I very lightly stir the bottom of the pudding.
-
26
Just enough to move the rice from the bottom and keep it from scorching.
-
27
Then I bake it for another 25 minutes.
-
28
It should have a very light crust with a very slight golden top to it.
-
29
The last one I baked, I tried baking it in a pan(pot) instead of the glass bowl.
-
30
After I cooled it, I transferred it carefully to a bowl.
-
31
Then refrigerated it.
-
32
This worked out well.
-
33
It didn't scorch at all.
-
34
The only difference is it broke up the thin crust the spices make on the top.
-
35
But I didn't mind this.
-
36
If you want to keep the look and the thin crust appearance, then cook it in a large bowl, either glass or stainless steel.
