Ingredients

  • 10 g butter, for greasing the dish
  • 400 g full-cream milk
  • 200 g thickened cream
  • 100 g short-grain rice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons caster sugar, to taste
  • Fresh nutmeg, finely grated (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 170°C fan. Grease a 750 ml ovenproof dish (about 4 cm deep) with butter.
  2. Add milk, cream, rice, vanilla extract, and caster sugar to the dish. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Cover tightly with foil and bake for about 1½ hours, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
  4. Remove the foil, increase oven temperature to 180°C, and grate nutmeg over the top if using.
  5. Bake uncovered for a further 30 minutes, or until a soft golden skin forms on top.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving warm or chilled.

Notes

  • Add 30 g of sultanas or dried cranberries before baking for extra sweetness.
  • Use ground cinnamon or cardamom for additional warmth.
  • Replace 50 g of milk with cream for a richer pudding.
  • Sprinkle brown sugar over the top before final bake for caramelised flavor.
