In a saucepan with 1 1/2 cups of salted water, boil rice until soft & fluffy, but not mushy, then drain well.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F & grease a 9-inch-square baking pan well.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, nutmeg & baking powder, combining well, then rub in the butter until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Gently stir in the rice & sugar, then add the eggs & beat in the milk to make a soft batter.

Cool slightly, then cut into 12 bars, about 3" long by 1 1/2" wide, & serve warm.
