Rice Pudding

Borrowed from our wonderful Norwegian neighbors, rice pudding has become a staple on Fridays.  Looking over this handwritten recipe, however, the proportions don't quite add up.  Better check with Mom.

Rice Pudding

1/2 gal whole milk (or 1/2 cup cream)
s1 < 1 cup white short grain rice
2-3-4 cardamom (pinch)
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 c sugar
2 cinnamon sticks

Cook about 40 minutes, stirring constantly.  Simmer raisins, and add to rice pudding.  Serve hot or cold - should be thick.
