4 oz (110 g) pudding rice

141/2 oz (410 g) evaporated milk

1 pint (570 ml) whole milk

11/2 oz (40 g) golden granulated or caster sugar

1 whole nutmeg

1 oz (25 g) butter

  You will also need a round ovenproof dish with a diameter of 9 inches (23 cm), 2 inches (5 cm) deep, lightly buttered.
  
  Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 2, 300°F (150°C).

This is simplicity itself, because all you do is mix the evaporated milk and whole milk together in a jug, then place the rice and sugar in the ovenproof dish, pour in the liquid and give it all a good stir. Grate the whole nutmeg all over the surface (it may seem a lot but it needs it), then, finally, dot the butter on top in little flecks.

Next just carefully pop the dish in the oven on the centre shelf and leave it there for 30 minutes, then slide the shelf out and give everything a good stir. Repeat the stirring after a further 30 minutes, then pop the dish back in the oven to cook for another hour, this time without stirring. At the end of this time the rice grains will have become swollen, with pools of creamy liquid all around them, and, of course, all that lovely skin! This is wonderful served warm with Plums in Marsala.

thanks very much, do you think it will be ok to use normal rice

[juice]

its just long grain rice i have in the house

[SherlockLGJ]

My mother used to use long grain regularly, I should think it will just need cooking for longer.

[SherlockLGJ]

I also zest a lemon into the mix before it goes into the oven to bake.

i will give it a go. if i fail it will be tinned fruit with evap milk.

thanks again

I think you have to use pudding rice but I could be wrong. Good luck with it. From memory, you just shove all the ingredients into a greased dish and bung it in the oven.

My easy recipe if you have pudding rice is:

1 pint whole milk
2 tbsps pudding rice
2 tbsps sugar
1 knob butter

All in a casserole dish and in oven at 150C for 2 hours. You can add nutmeg or spices or dried fruit and even fresh chopped fruit if making for children though this sometimes causes the milk to curdle and not look very nice although it still tastes fine.
My little girl likes it with raspberries and chopped pears in it.
