Combine 4 cups of milk, 3/4 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of rice, and a pinch of salt into a big heavy saucepan.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a very low simmer for one hour, stirring frequently and keeping it uncovered.

After an hour, the mixture should be thick and the milk absorbed; adjust the temperature as needed to maintain a low simmer.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk and 1 egg until combined.

Add the egg and milk mixture to the rice mixture and stir it in.

Return the pot to low heat and bring it just to a boil, then turn off the heat.

Add about 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and stir it in.

Add raisins to taste, approximately 1 cup, and stir them in.

Sprinkle cinnamon to taste, about 1/4 teaspoon, and stir in.

Serve warm or transfer to a bowl and refrigerate to cool, which will thicken the pudding.
