How to make baked rice pudding

All you need to make this delicious warming pudding is a baking dish, any will do, and your ingredients. Before making a start, preheat your oven to 160c fan forced.

Grab your baking dish and add the rice, milk, white sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract and ground cinnamon. Stir everything together with a spoon until well combined.

Transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for around 1 1/2 hours, or until the rice is tender. 1/2 hour into the cooking time, give the pudding a good stir, then place back in the oven and leave to bake for the remaining 1 hour.

Once the rice is tender and the pudding is golden in top, remove from the oven and serve while warm.

Any remaining pudding can be stored in an airtight container. Be sure to place the leftover rice pudding into the fridge while still hot, and reheat until piping hot once ready to eat.
