Baked rice pudding
Ingredients:
• 15g unsalted butter
• 100g pudding rice
• 25g caster sugar
• 1 tsp ground nutmeg
• 700ml whole milk
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to gas 3, 160°C, fan 140°C. Grease a 1.5ltr shallow ovenproof dish with the butter, ensuring it is fully coated across the base and up the sides.
2. Add the pudding rice, caster sugar and nutmeg to dish and lightly mix. Pour over the milk, then stir well to combine.
3. Bake for 2 hrs, checking after 1 hr 45 mins, or until the rice is tender and the top is golden and just set. Serve hot.
Tip: For some simple serving suggestions, try stirring through a spoonful of jam or fruit compote, topping with grated chocolate, chopped nuts, sliced banana or poached plums. Or drizzle over golden or maple syrup. You can also vary the flavours in the pudding by swapping the nutmeg for a little ground cinnamon, vanilla extract or grated orange zest.
