Cold weather? Nothing can warm you up [or stick to your ribs] like a traditional british rice pudding. This is my families version which is made richer by the use of evaporated milk.
Serves 4-6
Ingredients
4 oz (110 g) pudding rice
14½ oz can (410 g) evaporated milk
1 pint (570 ml) full fat milk
1½ oz (40 g) golden caster sugar
1 whole nutmeg
1 oz (25 g) butter
1. Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 2, 300°F (150°C).
2. Mix evaporated and whole milk together.
3. Place rice and sugar in an over-proof dish.
4. Pour on the milk.
5. Dust with grated nutmeg and place random dots of butter across the top.
6. Place in oven and cook for 30 minutes. Pull out shelf of oven and stir.
7. Put back in oven and cook for another 30 minutes.
Add dried fruits if required. But I am a purist and prefer it without. Occasionally serve with homemade strawberry or raspberry jam.
