Ingredients

• 100 grams Pudding rice (short-grain rice or arborio rice)
• 1 liters Whole milk
• 100 milliliters Double cream
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 25 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Lightly grease a 1.5-liter ovenproof baking dish with a small amount of butter.

Step 2

Rinse the pudding rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain it well.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, double cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Step 4

Transfer the rinsed rice into the prepared baking dish. Pour the milk mixture over the rice and stir gently to distribute the rice evenly.

Step 5

Dot the surface with small cubes of the unsalted butter, spaced evenly across the top.

Step 6

Sprinkle the ground nutmeg evenly over the surface for a light dusting of spice.

Step 7

Place the baking dish in the center of the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 2 hours, stirring once after the first 30 minutes to prevent the rice from clumping at the bottom.

Step 8

After 2 hours, the rice should be tender, and the pudding will have a creamy consistency with a golden, caramelized top. If the pudding is too liquidy for your taste, you can bake it for an additional 15-20 minutes.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, either on its own or with a drizzle of cream or jam.
