Baked Rice Pudding

My mom use to make the best rice pudding on Sunday as our dessert after a great Sunday dinner. Sometimes she would fix Roast beef and gravy, mashed potatoes, and curly kale, but my favorite meal was fried chicken, macaroni n cheese, and steamed cabbage, don't forget the hot rolls. To top it all off a bowl of creamy delicious rice pudding. I don't remember her adding raisins but I like golden raisins in mines.

This rice pudding is baked in a creamy custard, flavored with a dash of cinnamon, vanilla extract. and juicy golden raisins. This delicious recipe is a simple and easy dessert that can be used for any dessert occasion.
