Basic Ingredients for traditional rice pudding recipe
- 1 cup pudding/arborio rice
- 1 teaspoon of nutmeg powder
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons demerara sugar
- 3 1/2 cup whole milk
- 12 oz cans / 1 1/3 cups evaporated milk
How to make traditional rice pudding recipe
- Butter a large ovenproof baking dish (2qt / 1.9 L). The rice, sugar, and milk should be poured into the ovenproof dish. Next, add the milk and evaporated milk to the bowl and stir.
- The butter can be grated on top. This is a good idea to place the butter in the freezer for five minutes. Next, sprinkle the nutmeg over the surface. Bake for about 2 hours.
- After checking the pudding halfway through (around 45-60 minutes), stir it and then place it back in the oven for the next baking cycle. The rice grains will expand in the creamy milk base and nutmeg-flavored skin after baking for 2 hours. Serve with a few drops of your favorite jam.
