Creamy Rice Pudding

Gather all ingredients.

Bring water in a saucepan to a boil over medium heat; stir in rice. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.

Combine cooked rice, 1 ½ cups milk, sugar, and salt in a clean saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring often, until thick and creamy, about 15 minutes.

Stir in remaining ½ cup milk, egg, and raisins; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Off heat, stir in butter and vanilla extract until combined.

Serve warm.
