Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Short grain white rice
- 1 liter Low-fat milk (1% fat)
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 30 grams Optional: Raisins or sultanas
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F/Gas Mark 2).
Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch.
In a medium oven-safe baking dish, combine the rinsed rice, low-fat milk, sugar, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt. If you're using raisins, stir them in at this stage.
Place the baking dish in the oven and set a timer for 90 minutes.
Stir the mixture every 30 minutes to prevent the rice from clumping or sticking to the bottom of the dish.
Check the consistency after 90 minutes. The rice should be tender, and the pudding should have a creamy texture. If it looks too runny, let it bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the pudding cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with an extra pinch of nutmeg on top, or chill in the fridge for a few hours if you prefer it cold.
