4. Cover the dish, set in the oven, and bake very slowly till the rice is tender.
5. The pudding should be stirred occasionally during the cooking.
6. When the pudding is nearly done, the cover may be removed to allow the top of the pudding to brown.

10. One-eighth package of raisins may be added to the pudding, if desired.
