WALDORF ASTORIA RICE PUDDING

1 1/2 quarts milk
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup raisins
Vanilla
1/2 pint whipping cream
2 egg yolks

Rinse rice in cold running water.  Drain well.  Combine milk with 1/3 sugar and salt and bring to boil.  Add rice, reduce heat and simmer 1 hour or until rice is soft, stirring occasionally.  Add raisins, remaining sugar and vanilla to taste.

Turn mixture into oven-proof serving dish or individual pudding cups.  Beat cream until soft.  Add egg yolks and stir well.  Spread mixture evenly over top of rice pudding.  Place under broiler until browned on top, being careful cream does not scorch.  Makes 6 to 8 servings.
