Spotted Dog

Ingredients

• 1 cup precooked dried white rice
• About 2 1/4 cups low-fat (1%) milk
• 1 cinnamon stick (3 in. long)
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup raisins

Preparation

1. 1. In a 1 1/2- to 2-quart nonstick pan, combine rice, 2 1/4 cups milk, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring, 10 to 12 minutes.
2. 2. Add sugar, salt, and raisins. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring often, until most of the milk is absorbed and pudding is creamy, 8 to 10 minutes longer.
3. 3. Spoon into bowls and serve warm. Pudding thickens as it stands; if desired, stir in a little more milk.
