MEXICAN RICE PUDDING ("ARROZ CON LECHE")

Steps:

• Put the water, rice, and cinnamon stick in a medium-size heavy saucepan set over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, uncovered, and cook until the rice is tender, about 18 minutes. Strain out the liquid, discard the cinnamon and reserve the rice. Return the rice to the saucepan. Stir in the evaporated milk, condensed milk, and whole milk. Continue cooking over medium-high heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook, uncovered, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick, about 20 minutes. Add the raisins, and stir well. Transfer the pudding to a serving bowl. Dust the top of the pudding with ground cinnamon and serve.

• After soaking, bring the rice mixture to a boil over high heat. When it starts to boil, lower heat to medium and cook for 10 to 12 more minutes or until water is almost evaporated.
• While rice is cooking, beat the egg. Add the milk and stir well to mix. Add the egg mixture, vanilla and condensed milk to the rice and cook over medium-low heat, stirring carefully, until it thickens slightly or to desired consistency, about 25-35 minutes. Stir in raisins, if desired. I sometimes also like to add a bit of ground cinnamon. Let cool uncovered. The rice will thicken as it cools, but will be thinner than traditional rice pudding.
