Good recipe for own rice pudding

[yellowflowers]

I want to make rice pudding for my lo and have no idea how. Anyone got any good recipes for making this for a baby (10 months)?

I use 1 l of milk to 3/4 cup of rice, two spoonfuls of sweetener (I use xylitol for their teeth, but whatever you like), and simmer until the rice becomes just visible at the surface and is soft (stir regularly).

I then turn it off and let the rice finish absorbing the milk.

Just normal long grain rice? I didn't know whether you use that or a special one like you would for risotto.

From memory i think its about
1oz rice, 1 pint of full fat milk, 1 tablespoon caster sugar and a grate of nutmeg

Put in saucepan bring up to boil and simmer for 20-30 mins.
Alternatively cook in oven for about 3 hours at a low temperature. 160 degrees i think?

You get special pudding rice.

Erm, I would not give artificial sweetener to a baby!

(I wouldn't give it to anyone for that matter, but absolutely definitely not to a baby or child).

Cook it in the oven when you are cooking something else (like baked potatoes) or use flaked rice to cook on the hob, because it cooks quicker.

You need pudding rice. Google rice pudding.

Actually i was wrong that should be 2ozs rice - and cook at 150 degrees.

agree, please no artificial sweeteners (yuck!). But whatever (natural) sweeteners you like.

Special rice is probably best, but I tend to do it with short grain rice, as the dc prefer it.

I do mine on the hob with arborio risotto rice and whole milk. Apologies for the link but saves me typing the recipe out again.

For some reason some supermarkets now call 'pudding rice' 'short grain rice' (I mean, it is short grain rice but I got very frustrated searching websites for what's always been known as pudding rice!!).

I do the same as Liskey, in the oven.

Have also used risotto rice in emergencies, think it's nearly the same anyway.

Thank you. I looked online and tesco sell both pudding rice and flaked pudding rice.

Pudding rice

2-3oz pudding rice
1oz sugar
1 small tin of evaporated milk made up to a pint with water.

Put all into a oven proof dish. Cook on low heat for about 2 hours. Yum. You get a skin with this one.

Flaked rice

tip about 2 oz of flaked rice into saucepan
add a spooful of sugar
milk - about quarter or half a pint (not sure as I usual glug it into pan)

Heat mix and stir with wooden spoon. Bring to boil. It should thicken up. Simmer for 10 mins. Yum

Pudding rice and flaked rice are two different types of rice. They are usually on the same shelf as the jelly and custards...

100g pudding rice
1 1/2 pints milk
1/2 pint double cream
120g caster sugar
few drops vanilla essence

Stir and simmer until thickened keep stirring (should take maybe 50 mins) but don't wait until it's really thick take it off the heat when the rice is very soft but the liquid is still on the thinner side it will thicken up quite a bit on standing (unless you're eating it straight away).

It tastes lovely but it may be quite sugary for a baby, you could put less sugar in if you wanted to.
