Easy Traditional British Rice Pudding Recipes

MARY BERRY'S CLASSIC RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• 1. You will need a 1.6-litre (2¾-pint) wide-based ovenproof dish, well greased. Preheat the oven to 160°C/140°C fan/Gas 3. 2. Tip the rice into the dish. Heat the milk in a saucepan (see tip) and pour over the rice, then add the sugar and stir to combine. 3. Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes. Stir gently and sprinkle with a dusting of nutmeg, if you like. Continue cooking for a further 1¼-1½ hours until a golden skin has formed on top and the rice is soft and tender underneath. Serve hot. MARY'S EVERYDAY TIPS: Full-fat milk gives the best rich flavour, though semi-skimmed would be fine too. If you only have semi-skimmed, add a little less and make up the full amount with cream. Heating the milk gets the cooking going.

TRADITIONAL RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 150°C, (130°C for fan ovens), Gas Mark 2.
• Sit the dish on a baking tray. Place the rice and sugar into the dish and pour over the milks and vanilla, stir together and then top with the grated nutmeg.
• Finally top with small blobs of butter and carefully transfer to the oven on the middle shelf for 2 ¼ hours. Stir the pudding after about 45 minutes. We love the skin on the top but if you prefer you can cover with foil to prevent this. Did you know you can also put your rice pudding in a slow cooker - cook on HIGH for 3 ½ hours.
