Rice Pudding, homemade. Do you really cook for 2 hours?😮

[CornishTeaTime]

Bought some pudding rice today. Just looked at simple recipe on pack, says oven cook for 2 hours!!!

Is this the norm?

I cant justify putting the oven on for 2 hours! Ive nothing Im cooking this week either like a roast I could slip it in with.

I start it in the microwave, then put in the oven, usually a good hour or so as I only make a smallish one for me. Lots of nutmeg on top as I love the top.

I haven't used evaporated milk before, I have a small tin so might well give that a try.
