Ingredients You'll Need
1 cup short-grain white rice (recommended Carolina gold rice)

Put the rice in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water. Add the salt & 3 cups of boiling water. Cover and cook until the rice is tender, about 30 minutes.
Stir in the condensed milk, butter, & raisins. Cook, stirring frequently, over simmering water until the pudding thickens slightly, about 20 minutes.
