ingredients
- 4 cups milk (NOT skim)
- 1⁄3 cup uncooked short-grain rice (if you can't find regular short-grain rice, arborio works well)
- 1⁄4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 pinch salt
directions
- Preheat oven to 300F; have ready a greased 8-cup baking dish (preferably glass, says Rose Murray).
- Heat the milk in a large saucepan over medium-high heat just until bubbles appear around the edge; remove from the heat.
- Add all the remaining ingredients to the milk, combine well, then pour into the prepared pan.
- Bake in preheated oven for two hours, until rice is just tender and most of the milk has been absorbed; stir twice during the first hour of baking.

This tastes just like the creamy, delicious rice pudding I was brought up on in England! I doubled the recipe, and as suggested, used evaporated milk in place of part of the milk. I was in comfort food heaven with this one ~ couldn't stop going back to the pan for extra helpings! Thank you for transporting me back to my childhood, Lennie! Pure indulgence!

I was sorely disappointed when I couldn't find a recipe similar to my childhood favorite (Current's - Miriam B Lou's)on Recipezaar. I was weary to try a new recipe (esp. w/o eggs)! I followed this recipe as written with the following exceptions: used 2 cups half & half, 2 cups 2% milk, added cinnamon and 1 cup of raisins before baking. This is the easiest, richest, most incredible comfort food I have ever tasted. I even made a low-fat version for our family (using FF half & half and 2% milk - Alli friendly) and you couldn't tell the difference! It tasted like I remember as a child!!! Thanks Lennie!!

Lennie, DH says "any more ideas like this one?" He ate TWO bowls despite being unwell at the moment. Did substitute one of the cups of milk with Carnation evaporated milk and needed an extra half-hour in the oven but that might just be because of the power supply in my part of Spain. Thank you so much Lennie. Sue Thomas 21
