Rice Pudding recipe

[Dollychris]

Has anyone got a good old =fashioned rice pudding recipe please?

[beryllium]

A very basic one I make is this....
2 oz Pudding Rice
1pt Milk
1oz Caster or Golden Caster Sugar
Grated rind of a Lemon
1tsp good quality vanilla essence
Grated nutmeg
Butter

Grease a 2pt baking dish with butter, pour in the ingredients and give it a stir, dot some butter on top, then put in the oven @ 170 for 1hr, stir if you wish, then return for another 1/2 hr.

You could use a tin of evaporated milk aswell, but add another 1+1/2 oz of rice :-)

You can add sultanas if liked too......

Now I think I'm going to make one for us lol.....

Pretty simple, really:
1/3 cup uncooked white rice, not rinsed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup white sugar
1 quart milk, scalded
2 teaspoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
In a 1 quart baking dish combine rice, salt and sugar. Stir in scalded milk and dot with butter.
Bake in preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours, or until rice is very tender and milk is thick and creamy. Stir gently with a fork every 15 minutes during the first hour.

Or, for slightly more complex:
1/2 cup long grain white rice
1-1/2 cups water
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup or more raisins
3/4 tsp grated lemon rind
3-1/2 cup milk
1 tsp nutmeg
2-3 tbsp cinnamon
2 tbsp butter

Directions
Preheat oven to 300
Cook rice in salted water till tender, then drain.
In a medium bowl beat eggs slightly. Stir in sugar, vanilla, raisins, lemon rind, nutmeg & cinnamon.
In another bowl combine milk & cooked rice.
Add rice mixture to egg mixture.
Pour into a 2 quart casserole pan. Sprinkle with more nutmeg and cinnamon to your taste. Then dot with butter. (I add one cinnamon stick in the middle)
Set casserole in a baking pan; fill baking pan with about 1" hot water
Bake uncovered about 1 hour and 25 minutes, stirring once after the first half hour.
To avoid breaking the top of crust, insert spoon at edge of pudding, draw gently back and forth along bottom of the casserole. Near the end of baking time, insert a silver knife in center of custard, if it comes out clean, custard is done.
Remove casserole from baking pan and cool.
