Baked Rice Pudding (II)

Ingredients

• 1 teacupful rice
• 2 tablespoonful moist sugar
• 1 quart milk
• 1/2 oz butter or 2 small tablespoonfuls of chopped suet
• 1/2 teaspoonful grated nutmeg

Instructions

1. Wash the rice, put it into a pie-dish with the sugar, pour in the milk, and stir these ingredients well together;
2. then add the butter cut up into very small pieces, or, instead of this, the above proportion of finely-minced suet;
3. grate a little nutmeg over the top, and bake the pudding, in a moderate oven, from 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
4. As the rice is not previously cooked, care must be taken that the pudding be very slowly baked, to give plenty of time for the rice to swell, and for it to be very thoroughly done.
