Old Fashioned Baked Rice Pudding

1 cup of long grain rice
4 cups of milk*
2 cups of water*
1 tablespoon of butter
2/3 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon of nutmeg
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of raisins

Stir all ingredients (except raisins) together in a buttered 1-1/2 quart casserole. Bake at 300 for 1 hour, covered, without disturbing the rice. Reduce temperature to 250F and continue baking for 1 hour.

Add raisins and continue baking for another 30 minutes.

You can also sprinkle either cinnamon or more nutmeg over the top just before the pudding finishes baking.

 *More liquid needs to be added.  By the time this is cooked, all the liquid is soaked up.  Maybe try adding another cup of milk and 1/4 cup water (to keep the milk/water ratio the same).
