Instructions
Rinse the Rice until the water runs clear. Soak the Saffron Threads in 2 tablespoons of warm milk for 15 minutes.
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the Rice, remaining Milk, and Salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to the lowest setting, cover, and simmer for 75-80 minutes, stirring almost constantly, until the rice is very tender and the mixture is incredibly creamy.
Stir in the Sugar, Butter, and soaked Saffron with its milk. Continue to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the butter is melted.
Remove from heat and stir in the Rosewater and Raisins.
Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped Pistachios.
