CHRISTMAS RICE PUDDING

2/3 cup of raw rice
3 cups of milk
2 cups of water
1 teaspoon of salt
3 eggs
3/4 cup of sugar
2 tablespoons of butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
Cinnamon

Boil rice in 2 cups milk and 2 cups water with salt until thick. Stir occasionally so it doesn't burn. Beat eggs with the last cup of milk and add to the hot mixture with the sugar, butter, vanilla and nutmeg. Pour into a buttered 2 quart casserole and sprinkle with cinnamon. Set in a pan of water to bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees (or until set). Serves
