Kozy Shack Rice Pudding

This is a super easy and very creamy pudding.
Be patient! It will take around 45 minutes to make creamy pudding.

1 c. medium or long grain rice
2 c. water
1/4 t. salt
2/3 c. sugar
2 c. milk
2 c. half-and-half
1 t. butter (opt.)
1 t. vanilla
1/2 t. nutmeg
1/2 c. raisins (opt.)
cinnamon-sugar (for garnish)

Bring water & salt to boil. Stir in rice; cover & reduce heat to low. Cook rice, without lifting lid, for 15-20 minutes, until rice is soft & water is absorbed.
Pour milk, half-and-half, and sugar into rice. Increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens & bubbles form around edges.
Decrease heat and continue cooking, stirring more frequently, until mixture thickens as desired. (Until a wooden spoon will stand by itself in the center of the mixture.)
Remove from heat. Stir in butter, vanilla, nutmeg and raisins. Spoon into individual dessert dishes. Garnish with mixture of cinnamon-sugar.
