• Heat to boiling; boil 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• Remove from heat. Stir in butter and vanilla.
• Slowly stir about 1 cup of the hot rice mixture into egg yolks in bowl.
• Stir into remaining mixture in saucepan.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, just until mixture starts to bubble.
• Serve warm or chilled. Garnish with cinnamon and nutmeg.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large saucepan, add milk, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, brown sugar, rum and raisins and heat until warm. Simmer and stir until sugar dissolves.
• Into a large bowl add the cubed bread and pour in the hot milk mixture. Let sit for 30 minutes so the bread absorbs the milk.
• Add the beaten eggs to the bread and milk mixture and stir. Pour bread pudding into a buttered 1 1/2-quart baking dish and bake for 50 minutes.
