Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Pudding rice or short-grain rice
- 1 liters Whole milk
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 15 grams Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and lightly grease a 1.5-liter baking dish with butter.
Rinse the rice under cold water to remove excess starch, then drain well.
In a large saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until just warm, but not boiling.
Stir in the rinsed rice, granulated sugar, and salt until fully combined. Remove from heat.
Pour the milk and rice mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading the rice evenly across the bottom.
Cut the butter into small pieces and scatter them over the top of the mixture.
Sprinkle the ground nutmeg evenly over the surface and stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
Place the baking dish in the center of the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 2 hours, stirring gently every 30 minutes to prevent the rice from clumping and ensure even cooking.
After 2 hours, check if the pudding has thickened to your liking. If necessary, bake for an additional 10–15 minutes.
Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let the pudding cool slightly before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.
Serve warm or cold, optionally topped with a dollop of cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor.
