How to Make Grandma Ackroyds Rice Pudding

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In Grandma Ackroyd's special bowl (or a similarly sized oven-safe bowl), gently combine 1 cup of Arborio rice, 4 cups of whole milk, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup of water.
Dot the top of the pudding with 2 tablespoons of butter and sprinkle generously with freshly grated nutmeg.
Bake for 70-80 minutes, or until the pudding is set and golden brown on top. The cooking time may vary depending on your oven.
Let the pudding sit in the bowl for at least 1 hour to allow it to set and cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm, either straight from the bowl or spooned into individual serving dishes. A splash of cold milk is optional.
