Old Fashioned Rice Pudding
This recipe is taken from How to Cook Book One and has also appeared in Sainsbury's Magazine (Dairy Collection)._

4 ounces (110 g) pudding rice
14½ ounces (410 g) evaporated milk
1 pint (570 g) golden granulated or caster sugar
1 whole nutmeg
1 ounce (25 g) butter
¼ teaspoon salt

Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 2, 300°F (150°C)
You will need a round ovenproof dish with a diameter of 9 inches (23 cm), 2 inches (5 cm) deep, lightly buttered.
This is simplicity itself, because all you do is mix the evaporated milk and whole milk together in a jug, then place the rice and sugar in the ovenproof dish, pour in the liquid and give it all a good stir. Grate the whole nutmeg all over the surface (it may seem a lot but it needs it), then, finally, dot the butter on top in little flecks.
Next just carefully pop the dish in the oven on the centre shelf and leave it there for 30 minutes, then slide the shelf out and give everything a good stir.
Repeat the stirring after a further 30 minutes, then pop the dish back in the oven to cook for another hour, this time without stirring.
At the end of this time the rice grains will have become swollen, with pools of creamy liquid all around them, and, of course, all that lovely skin! This is wonderful served warm with Plums in Marsala.

CREAMY RICE PUDDING

4 cups milk
pinch of salt
1/2 cup long grain rice
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 tbsp. corn starch
1 egg (beaten)
1/2 cup raisins

Put raisins in a cup and pour boiling water over them and leave them to soak while you make the pudding. This will plump them up.
In a large saucepan mix milk, rice, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil and boil gently on medium low heat for 3/4 to 1 hour, stirring often. Taste the rice if it's cooked it's ready.
Mix corn starch with a little milk and add to above. Beat egg, add a little of hot mixture and stir. Add this to the pudding( this prevents egg from cooking on contact--otherwise you may end up with bits of cooked egg in the pudding. Stir and cook until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and drained raisins. Stir, cool slightly and serve--an occasional stir while it's cooling will prevent a skin forming.
