Rice Pudding: The Ultimate Comfort Food

Is there anything more comforting on a cold Winter's night than home baked, old fashioned rice pudding? I think not.



So simple and easy - 100g rice (preferably, but not essentially, pudding rice), 50g sugar and 1 pint of milk. Place in a greased oven dish and bake at 150C for 2 hours (or make it in the slow cooker).

Warmth from the oven. Sweet, creamy, comforting warmth in your belly. Great conversation by candle light - perfection!


Exciting news today is that the first Home Baked Challenge submission has been uploaded to the flickr group - well done to Liz for being brave enough to go first! Only 10 days left to make your submissions and upload them.

I've made some updates to the linky love section in my sidebar including (at the top of the list) some ways you can help people in Haiti - just a "heads up" for those reading in feed readers.

Aww how come Elizabeth! There are ways of making it without a skin on if that freaks you out.

Oh Elizabeth it's just delicious - spesh with a sprinkling of nutmeg. None of mine eat the skin, but I like it :D

Oh no! Didn't even know about the skin. It's the texture--creamy with lumps--yuck! Has to be creamy, or not. I don't like it mixed. Or anything that is normally dry-that you make soggy. Bread/crackers in soup, cereal & milk--can't stand the very sight of it!
