Can you make rice pudding from long grain rice. I can't find any short grain rice anywhere, and have a real hankering for long grain. If I boil it up in a saucepan first, then put it in the oven, will it eventuaaly soften? or is there something fundamentally different? basmati rice wouldn't taste too odd, would it?

sorry, have a real hankering for rice pudding! typing the most stupid things today, something to do with too much night nurse!

I wouldn't have thought long-grain rice would be sticky or soft enough - but I've never tried it. And yes, I think basmati would taste too odd!

oh pooh, just desperate for some comfort food!

It would do i reckon.

Any rice, milk, in a big pan, on the hob, 30 mins later. Yummy pudding.

right, will give it a go - & let you know

cooked & eaten. very yummy!
