1 lb. rice
1 gallon whole milk
1 lb sugar
pinch of salt
4 lg. eggs
2 t. vanilla

Cook milk, rice, salt and sugar on top of stove very slowly until thickened and creamy.  Beat the eggs and temper with a little of the hot mixture.  Stir into hot mixture along with vanilla.  Remove from heat and  pour into a flat dish.  Sprinkle generously with cinnamon.  
This is a large recipe.  Should you wish to adjust it, use the following equivalents:
1 lb. rice = 2 1/3 cups
1 gallon milk = 4 quarts
1 lb. sugar = 2 cups
1 lb powdered sugar = 3 1/3 cups
