Ingredients

  • 120 g pudding rice or arborio
  • 1 litre whole milk
  • 150 ml double cream
  • 80 g caster sugar
  • 25 g butter
  • a whole nutmeg, for grating
  • jam, to serve

Method

  1. Everything in cold

    Stir the rice, milk, cream and sugar together in a buttered baking dish. Everything goes in cold and unheated — this pudding is cooked entirely by the oven.

  2. Butter and nutmeg on top

    Dot the butter over the surface and grate nutmeg generously across it. The butter melts into a film that becomes the browned skin, which for most people is the entire point.

  3. Bake very low

    Bake at 140°C, undisturbed, for two hours. Any hotter and the milk boils, the proteins tighten, and it splits into grains and watery liquid instead of going creamy.

  4. Judge it

    It is ready when the top is deeply browned and the pudding beneath is loose rather than stiff. It thickens a lot as it cools, so pull it while it still looks slightly too runny.

  5. Serve

    Serve warm with a spoonful of jam. Reheat leftovers with a splash of milk stirred through.
