| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare Cinnamon Infusion: In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add cinnamon sticks and lime zest, cover, and let simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the water with flavor. |
| 2 | Cook Rice: Add the rice to the infused water and return to a boil. Stir once, cover, and cook for 20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. |
| 3 | Combine Ingredients: Stir in the milk, sugar, and salt. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until the mixture starts to thicken, approximately 20 minutes. |
| 4 | Temper Egg Yolks: Remove the saucepan from heat. Take out the cinnamon sticks and zest. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks until runny. Temper the yolks by adding a few tablespoons of the hot rice mixture, then stir in the vanilla extract. |
| 5 | Incorporate Egg Mixture: Pour the tempered egg mixture into the saucepan, stirring well to combine. Add half of the golden raisins and mix thoroughly. |
| 6 | Transfer to Baking Dish: Spoon the rice pudding into an 8-inch square baking dish, spreading it evenly. |
| 7 | Broil: Preheat the broiler. Dot the top of the pudding with unsalted butter. Place under the broiler for 3-4 minutes until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy. |
| 8 | Serve: Sprinkle ground cinnamon and the remaining golden raisins over the pudding. Serve warm and enjoy the comforting flavors of Mexican Rice Pudding. |
