Ingredients for Grandma Ackroyds Rice Pudding

  • White Sugar
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • Evaporated Milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Freshly grated nutmeg (to taste)

How to Make Grandma Ackroyds Rice Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. 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.
  3. Dot the top of the pudding with 2 tablespoons of butter and sprinkle generously with freshly grated nutmeg.
  4. 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.
  5. Let the pudding sit in the bowl for at least 1 hour to allow it to set and cool slightly before serving.
  6. Serve warm, either straight from the bowl or spooned into individual serving dishes. A splash of cold milk is optional.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
