   • Cover raisins with hot water for 30 minutes, drain, and set aside.

2. Cook Rice Mixture:

   • In a heavy saucepan, combine 4 cups of milk, vanilla bean (split and seeds scraped), sugar, and salt.
   • Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
   • Stir in the converted long grain rice and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 40-50 minutes or until the rice is tender, stirring occasionally.

3. Prepare Egg Mixture:

   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and remaining 1 1/2 cups of milk until well combined.

4. Combine Ingredients:

   • Once the rice is cooked, remove the vanilla bean and discard.
   • Gradually pour the egg mixture into the cooked rice, stirring continuously.
   • Add the soaked raisins (and vanilla extract, if using) to the rice mixture and stir until evenly distributed.

5. Bake:

   • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Transfer the rice mixture into a buttered baking dish.
   • Place the baking dish into a larger pan and add hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish (this creates a water bath).
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

6. Stir and Continue Baking:

   • After 25 minutes, remove the baking dish from the oven and give the rice pudding a good stir.
   • Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25 minutes.

7. Final Touches:

   • Sprinkle the top of the rice pudding with cinnamon.
   • Bake for another 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.

8. Serve:

   • Once baked to perfection, remove the dish from the water bath and let it cool slightly.
   • Serve the rice pudding warm or cold, with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
