    This is the way my grandmother made rice pudding, except she would add a slice each of lemon and orange peel plus, of course, nutmeg. The butter melts and while it imparts a little extra flavour to the pudding, its main purpose is to float on the top and form the skin which entraps the moisture and other flavours and stops them being evaporated as the rice cooks.

    1 quart milk
    Salt
    Butter
    Allspice
    Cinnamon
    Nutmeg
    3 oz sugar
    Mix well
    Bake in an oven for 1.5 hours at 375°, stir part way through.
    I'm doing this tomorrow 😁

    I WISH more recipes were more right to the point. Nowadays when you go online for a recipe there’s 3 paragraphs about how Mrs. Jones loves picking daisies while sniffing the summer air as she ponders what to make for supper - which, by the way, the entire family just LOVES, but she’s not going to tell you how the hell to make it for AT LEAST 15 more sentences. - phew. Anyway, I really enjoy your channel!

    This is exactly how I make my Rice Pudding. Take either Long Grain or Pudding Rice, Sugar sprinkle a bit on top, Milk pour over, give a stir (or not) Butter dot across the top. Oven stick it in. Leave for 1 - 1 1/2 hrs. You can give it a stir once the Butter starts melting But, Don't bother stirring if the skin has started to form (you'll ruin the bit we all fight over) You get an amazingly dark crust formed on top that has a Toffee flavour from the Butter & Sugar mixing together. I think the other way of boiling the Rice before you add the Milk etc., is just plain weird and totally unnecessary. I bake mine in a brown enamel stoneware baking dish. You can eat it warm or cold and you can make it as lush as you want by adding some Cream over it.

    I suppose one thing you could do to cut down the baking time is to put all of the ingredients in a pan and bring up just to the boiling point, then put it in a pan to bake in a preheated oven. That would probably cut the baking time down to only 30-45 minutes, maybe less.

It was always about making best use of fuel, even in wealthier households. You see occasionally in some cookbooks recommendations for what might go in together.

    One time, our gas was out so we only had the toaster oven. We baked our brown rice and it came out absolutely perfect! I bet if I adjusted this recipe to match that one it would come out fantastic.

    My grandmother made this all the time, with just a small amount of vanilla. The more you stir it in the oven, the less skin you get and the smoother it turns out overall.

    In the UK, North East of England. My mum said the butter melts and floats on top, giving it a dark brown tastey skin. Serve hot with some cold milk poured over it. Eat a little hot rice with a little cold milk on each spoonful.

      Exactly. It's like Khijidi - every household has their own recipe; like wise with alot of countries having their own version of kheer/rice pudding. Everyone is adding their own special blend of spices. Here in Canada they have something called rice pudding. Rice and sugar. Canada get's the award for the worst recipe.lol.

    • @heidia9441
      @heidia9441 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Humanitarian Harjot -Hahahaha! Yup! Other rice pudding is pretty hit and miss...I recently created what I call kheer oatmeal only because it has similar flavors to the kheer I make. I cooked the oatmeal in goat milk for about 15 minutes and I added nutmeg and cardamom and stuff like that and toasted pistachios to sprinkle on top and I also carmelized diced apples in butter and honey and it was freaking amazing. The goat milk really made it have that sweet creamy kheer taste.

      @animequeen78 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's because the Maillard effect that takes place during the baking caramelizes the starches, adding to the flavor profile.

    I’m in the uk and this is very similar to how I make rice pudding today ( 2oz pudding rice,2oz sugar, 1pint whole milk,dot with salted butter,grate some nutmeg on top. Put in 400f oven till top turns golden and reduce the temp down to about 200f until rice is soft) serve hot. It’s delicious.

    Never been a big fan of rice pudding, or even tapioca, but my great- grandmother in South Africa used to mix butter and flour and sugar into a stiff dough, roll it out and cut it into small pieces, then boil that in milk. This would thicken up similar to the rice pudding and be sprinkled with all-spice in the serving bowl.
    But I will try this one and see how it turns out.

    I made this recipe twice in the last two days and both came out perfect! Used whole milk. The carmelization of the milk on top... mmm... The second time I deviated from the example and used vanilla instead. Wonderful, wonderful basic recipe that my wife and I truly enjoy. When plating, I did sprinkle some nutmeg on each serving. Such an easy and delicious desert. I will also speculate that by reducing the sugar to something minimum it would also make an excellent breakfast.

    This is how my Mother made hers and she would add a cup of raisins to it also a teaspoon or two of of pumpkin pie spice.I remember coming home after a cold wintery day at school, i was 10 years old at the time and smelling rice pudding baking in the oven. Made the whole house smell wonderful. We always had a good supper and for my serving in my bowl i loved to pour some ice cold milk over it. I make mine now the same way but i like a little bit of extra cinnamon sprinkled over my rice pudding and milk.
