Traditional Rice Pudding
Amazing - loved it. I love rice pudding but adding [evaporated] milk just made it so much better and with a toffee like tone to...

Pudding rice

5½oz (150g)

Sugar

2oz (50g)

Whole milk

1½ pints (900ml)

Vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste

1tsp

¼ fresh nutmeg, grated or pinch of ground nutmeg

Butter

1oz (25g)

You will also need:

2pt (1.4Ltr) ovenproof dish, greased

Step 1 of 3

Preheat the oven to 150°C, (130°C for fan ovens), Gas Mark 2.

Step 2 of 3

Sit the dish on a baking tray.  Place the rice and sugar into the dish and pour over the milks and vanilla, stir together and then top with the grated nutmeg.  

Step 3 of 3

Finally top with small blobs of butter and carefully transfer to the oven on the middle shelf for 2 ¼ hours.  Stir the pudding after about 45 minutes.  

We love the skin on the top but if you prefer you can cover with foil to prevent this.  Did you know you can also put your rice pudding in a slow cooker – cook on HIGH for 3 ½ hours.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Part Microwaveable rice pudding Love making rice pudding with carnation milk but hated the hour and a half for it to cook. So I decided to do a little experiment to see if I could make the time less by using the microwave. Result! It took just 45 minutes in total and tastes just as good.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Would put people off rice pudding Made in the slow cooker and it was awful, took 5 or more hours, and ended up being just mush. I couldn't identify individual rice grains and although the taste was great, the texture was dreadful. I thought it was my old slow cooker that was at fault so tried in the oven and it was the same. Will be back to my mum's recipe, using half the liquid and topping up if necessary.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Tasty Not too sweet. Quite creamy in taste and texture. Took a little longer to cook than expected but that’s because I used a deep dish I think.
