Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter (, for greasing)
  • 4 cups milk ((full or reduced fat, Note 1))
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup medium grain white rice, uncooked (- definitely the best for rice pudding (Note 2))
  • 1/2 cup sultanas or raisins ((Note 3))
  • 3/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup cream (, thickened/heavy (or bit of butter))

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (all types).
  • Grease a 10 cup+ casserole dish with butter.
  • Place milk, sugar and vanilla in a saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar, until the surface is foamy - do not boil, it will split.
  • Place rice, sultanas and cinnamon in baking dish. Pour over milk, give it a brief stir then cover with lid or foil.
  • Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes to break up the rice that starts to set on the base.
  • After 1 hour, remove from oven and add cream. Give it a good stir - it will look a bit watery straight out of the oven but it evaporates quickly. I like mine creamy so it oozes when you serve it.
  • Serve immediately, just as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you want to take it over the top!
