BAKED RICE PUDDING
This is an economical and easy old recipe from the 1907 edition of Mrs Beeton’s Family Cookery that belonged to my Grandma. As mentioned in a previous ramble about puddings, my Mum made this for dinner most Saturday nights, especially when she made a roast dinner. I guess it’s baked rice porridge. As a kid I loved it with a little cold milk poured over the top to cool it quickly, as I was too impatient to wait. I still love it, at its best accompanied by tart fruit compote, such as rhubarb or plums. I use short grained rice, Arborio works well, skimmed milk without the added extra fat, scant measures of sugar as the pudding tends to be very sweet, and freshly grated nutmeg.
