RICE PUDDING creamy CLASSIC BRITISH dessert

Rice pudding is a classic British dessert known for its creamy texture and subtle sweetness.
In medieval Europe, rice was a luxury ingredient, and rice pudding, often flavored with expensive spices like saffron and nutmeg, would have been a dish for the wealthy.
By the Tudor period in England, rice pudding became more commonly eaten. It was typically a sweet dish made with sugar, but it is also becoming more widely available.
Rice pudding became a staple in British school dinners post-World War II era. This was partly due to rationing; rice was relatively cheap and readily available.
It was also considered nutritious, providing carbohydrates, protein, and calcium, important for growing children, especially in the austere post-war years.
Its warm, creamy texture made it a comfort food, appealing to children. It was often served with a dollop of jam or a sprinkling of sugar.
For many in the UK, rice pudding is nostalgic, reminiscent of childhood and school days.
In recent years, traditional rice pudding has declined in schools due to diversifying school menus and changing dietary preferences. However, it enjoys a revival in home cooking and gourmet cuisine, often with modern twists and flavours.

Hi Rik- I always use jasmine rice nowadays since I accidentally cooked too much once. I just added a can of evaporated milk and some sugar and butter to it and popped in the oven. Now I always cook more than I need to make rice pudding. I must introduce my Thai daughter-in-law to rice pudding. I’ve just thought, you could make it Thai by cooking in coconut milk and adding pandan flavour. Many thanks for all your recipes from Granny Johnson in Scotland.

All I need to do is find a chicken or lamb dish to cook at this temperature so I make full use of the oven. Now we have such expensive fuel bills I have to cook more wisely!

Oh legendary and so traditional! As a kid there weren't too many between-meal treats, but on Sundays I had a tradition all my own. We also had no TV but our neighbour did, and she always invited me in on Sundays at 5pm to watch Children's Hour. Not only that, she used to save me her leftover 'roasties' from Sunday dinner and I'd eat those followed by a helping of her leftover rice pudding. No wonder I'm the size I am! 🤣Simple to make, delicious to eat and so much cheaper this way (even factoring in the energy used to cook it), than those overpriced tins and pots we can buy. Another happy helping of the simple pleasures of cooking.

[@anamarialamoneda1805]

One question , how long does it take to cook in the slow cooker? Thanks, greetings from México

[@BackyardChef]

Cooking rice pudding in a slow cooker typically takes about 3 to 4 hours on a low setting. This allows the rice to absorb the liquid gradually, resulting in a creamy texture. Remember to occasionally stir the pudding to prevent sticking or burning at the bottom of the slow cooker. The exact cooking time can vary depending on the specific recipe and the make and model of your slow cooker. Love to New Mexico. Best, Rik@@anamarialamoneda1805

In the 17th century and for awhile after, I'm pretty sure everything had nutmeg in it :) I'm old...I still can't wrap my head around grams/ml/Celsius...I always have to go to the conversion charts :) This is a time-tested old-fashioned dessert in the classic style. Thanks Rik.

[@BackyardChef]

Agreed. Nutmeg would have been widely available in the old days - with other spices that were classed as exotic being introduced. If looking at most of the pudding type dishes - they all seem to carry nutmeg until British mixed spice was created - which is similar to pumpkin spice. Again, understandable - folks travelled, recipes travelled and new variations were created. Best, Rik

Awe. Me darling....I couldn't eat rice pudding ever ...I couldn't eat the little beads....Still can't eat wee lumps..😅😅 What about making potato farls. Henrietta.😘😘😘

[@BackyardChef]

Henrietta, I Love potato farls. With fried eggs too! I Have a couple of cracking pies this weekend, will try to squeeze the farls in after. Hope you are doing ok? Best, Rik

My grandmother used to make rice pudding but she used eggs and raisins, she would put it in a big cooking bowl and put it in a pan with water in the oven I don't remember much more I really wish I could remember

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@yoyomi]

Brenda Gantt on KZbin makes hers in the oven and uses a lot of eggs, raisins, milk, and it might be what you're remembering. Can't wait to try Rik's though.

I love rice pud, my mother used to make it for me and the skin on top was my favourite bit 😂 although I did look forward to School rice pudding 😋

[@BackyardChef]

It's so good! Hope you have chance to make it Neil. Best, Rik

[@neilanthonyhaywardlewis8978]

@@BackyardChef I Will be at some point!

[@Peorhum]

We used to have raisins added to it, when my parents made it.

[@BackyardChef]

Yes, that is a good addition. Best, Rik

[@susanhinchcliffe8048]

Just s question why add sugar when there sugar in the tin milk and put the butter of the four corners makes a nice skin

[@BackyardChef]

Hi Susan if you feel that a can of evaporated milk if sweet enough, do not add the sugar. Sugar is an ingredient in the recipe and it isn't a sweet dish this one, everyone cooks differently that is the great thing about cooking. Best, Rik

[@mimimummi1187]

You may be thinking of sweet condensed milk which is different than evaporated milk.

[@deborahstevens9587]

Totally different to my mum's Australian version. She cooked hers in a water bath in the oven. Baked rice pudding.

[@BackyardChef]

Mums know best! There are three or four ways to make rice pudding. Hers is a good one! Best, Rik

[@deborahstevens9587]

​Haha yes. Thanks Rik. I have family from Skelton North Yorkshire ​@@BackyardChef

[@georgeslade7217]

My favourite Rik

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@Oculoustuos]

Love your videos! Tried the rice pudding in the oven @300F for about 1 and 1/2 hours; stirred once. It did not turn out creamy 😅. My fault. I will try again.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Good luck. Best, Rik

[@topconker2909]

Hi Rik, you suggest 150c in a regular oven, is the 130C in a fan oven?

[@BackyardChef]

Probably or up to 140 all ovens differ. Best, Rik

[@lizhannah8412]

Rik. You know these recipes aren't doing my figure any good. Again, my Grannie used to make this when I was wee. And rest assured with the UK weather really cold at the moment I'm going to make it.

[@BackyardChef]

Hope you enjoy it. Sorry Liz, have you seen my figure - its definitely a round one. Stay wrapped. Best, Rik

[@gracelove886]

Gonna try this one too, not made rice pudding for decades cos husband hates that kind of pudding. More for me..😂

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@drmoss_ca]

I have a rice cooker and have figured out how to make rice pudding in it.

[@BackyardChef]

Fantastic! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@paulmccartney5019]

How much milk did you use..and sugar

[@BackyardChef]

Paul, there is a full ingredient list in the description. Best, Rik

[@kevowski]

Nice one Rik Reminds me of school dinners😊 I really liked it with a blob of strawberry jam but “frog spawn” tapioca pudding was my favourite at school😁 Really enjoying your classics series, keep em coming👌🏻

[@BackyardChef]

Oh yes! I wasn't keen. However I've eaten more diverse over the years. Might make it again. Best, Rik

[@jennifertselentis4755]

My mother, who was very british, preferred greek version

[@BackyardChef]

Sounds good. Thank you 😋 Best, Rik

[@patriciaaldam1562]

That’s funny, made some yesterday using nutmeg.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you 😋 Best, Rik

[@carolvenables3970]

I never thought to put evaporated milk in . You are clever, do you have an older brother that cooks like 🤭😅

[@BackyardChef]

Ha ha ha. Thank you. Best, Rik
