INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup medium grain rice
1 3/4 cups water
2 Tbls. Orange Flower Water
1 1/2 quarts milk
3 egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup raisins soaked in brandy until plump and then well drained
Cook rice in water at slow boil for 5 to 10 minutes to evaporate
some water and soften rice. Pour in milk, cook uncovered on low
heat until creamy in texture. Stir to avoid sticking. In a bowl,
combine eggs and sugar. Remove rice from heat, stir in the egg-sugar
mixture. Return the pot to the heat for 4 to 5 minutes. Turn off
the heat. Stir in the vanilla, Orange Flower Water and the drained raisins.
