Spotted Pup

2 cups cooked white rice
1 1/3 cups whole milk
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon soft butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup raisins

Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Prepare rice and set aside to cool.

In a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients, except raisins, and mix. Stir in the rice and raisins until well blended. Grease a baking dish and pour in the mix. Cover and place in a pan of hot water. Bake for 60 minutes.

Serve hot or cold in a small dish. Top with a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg.

Variation:
Bake pudding in a prepared pie shell or on a bed of cookie crumbs. Make sure the pan is well-greased.
