Rice pudding

emilyt

Well i have found a packet of pudding rice in Tesco.
At last.
It wasn't in the smaller tesco in town but the larger one On the outskirts.
Anyone my rice pudding is in the oven at the moment.
Hope it comes out ok.
Will let you know.

I have just made rice pudding for the first time, I used 2oz pudding rice (doesn't look like much), 1 pint milk, 2 tblspn sugar and I scrapped out a vanilla pod. Cooked in oven on 170 for 2 hrs, stirred once half way through. Serves 4. It is divine - but watch out - I burnt my tongue! Ouch!
I don't like the skin but just scraped it off in one piece at the end.

Well the rice pudding i made was so stodgy you could of fed all the starving people in the world. Don't know what i did wrong but it really was awful. I did use pudding flakes as that was all i could find in tesco. Have now found some pudding rice.
Glad yours came out better than mine Liney. I will try again soon.

Right, I opened a tin of evaporated milk. I don't know why I bought it, but I did, and I don't really like it. It tastes like rice pudding juice!

So I thought maybe I could make rice pudding from it, it's AGES since I had home made rice pudding at mums. Hot rice pudding, yum!

So, firstly, can I use it to make it?

If so, how!?

If I can't, what can I use this rice pudding juice stuff for? Coffee!?

Just substitute normal milk for evaporated milk and add about 4 tablespoons of sugar. You need about 2oz of dry rice to 2 pints of milk!! Put it in the oven on a very low heat for about 4 hours and near the end sprinkle some nutmeg on the top.

You can also use it in coffee, on a fruit salad, to make ice cream, in curries and all sorts.

Maybe there's a microwave option?

Just a note of caution, Graham - you need the round " pudding rice ' to make rice pudding, the ordinary long grain stuff wont really work
