Instructions: In the top of a double boiler, heat 2 cups milk to a gentle boil. Stir in rice and salt. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat; set aside. In a saucepan, heat 1/2 cup brown sugar, butter, and remaining milk until simmering. In a small bowl, beat egg yolks. Add small amount of hot milk mixture to yolks; return to pan. Stir until smooth. Stir into rice mixture; cook and stir over medium heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Pour into a greased 1 1/2-quart baking dish; set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form; gradually add remaining brown sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.

Spread over rice mixture, sealing edges. Bake at 300 degrees F. for 20 - 25 minutes.
