Best Ever Rice Custard Pudding
Comforting and delicious - easy to make, well worthwhile. i've added a couple of extra ingredients from the original - vanilla essence and nutmeg.
Steps
Beat eggs and salt a little , add sugar then milk with splash of vanilla essence.
Put rice or sago in a buttered dish , pour over the egg mixture and sprinkle with a pinch of nutmeg.
Set in a dish of water and bake slowly in the oven at 160 c until custard sets.
Extra info: the milk in new zealand is not watered down , still has cream in it , making it a creamy rice pudding.
If not in nz or australia , then you can use half and half.
I also add sultanas to this recipe on occasion , which i cook to plump , with the rice beforehand.
Sometimes i dot the top of the rice pudding with knobs of butter in order to get a brown skin.
