Indulge in the comforting flavors of this delightful Baked Rice Pudding, a timeless dessert that’s perfect for sharing with loved ones. Creamy rice infused with warm spices and a hint of citrus, baked to golden perfection, this recipe promises to satisfy your sweet cravings.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup rice
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• A pinch of nutmeg
• A sprinkle of cinnamon
• Fresh lemon rind
• 1 knob of butter

Instructions:

1. Preparation:

   • Begin by rinsing the rice thoroughly under cold water to remove any excess starch.

2. Mixing Ingredients:

   • In an ovenproof dish, combine the rinsed rice, milk, brown sugar, a pinch of nutmeg, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and freshly grated lemon rind. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.

3. Adding Butter:

   • Place a knob of butter in the center of the rice mixture in the dish. Sprinkle a tiny bit more cinnamon over the top for an extra touch of flavor.

4. Baking:

   • Preheat your oven to a low temperature and place the dish on the middle shelf. Let it bake for approximately 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld together and the rice to cook to a creamy consistency.

5. Stirring:

   • Halfway through the baking time, gently stir the rice pudding to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the dish and to ensure even cooking.

6. Serving:

   • Once the rice pudding is beautifully golden and cooked through, remove it from the oven. Serve it warm, either plain or with your choice of toppings such as golden syrup, maple syrup, jam, or honey.
