Traditional British rice pudding, very easy to make!

[@sheilaskitchen]

PLEASE READ BEFORE MAKING THE PUDDING... I made a mistake in the video which has just been pointed out to me. I said use 2oz of sugar when I meant 1oz. The correct amounts are in the description. I am very sorry for this mistake as I always check my videos many times before posting.

[@tellmesomething2go]

a pleasure to watch. don`t even worry about the sugar.

[@kernow9324]

Ah, this took me back to a happy time when I was a child in the 1970s. While I was at Sunday school mum would make a roast dinner, followed by rice pudding just like yours. I would eat so much I could barely walk. Mum has gone now and all my siblings, but I want to try to make a rice pudding. Thanks Sheila.

[@sheilaskitchen]

Glad I could bring back that lovely memory for you x

I was taught by my grandmother who always added a can of condensed milk, I find it makes it so much creamier:). Mums and grans are the best cooks. Edit, She always used pearl rice too. Such a wonderful Yorkshire lady.

[@sheilaskitchen]

Mums and grans certainly are the best cooks 😊

[@bamboozled3531]

​@@dawnclark6773 my mother used to put evaporated milk in to make it creamy, condensed milk is way too sweet but I suppose it would work

[@tardismole]

I learned this recipe from my grandmother. We used to substitute half of the milk with either a can of evaporated milk (Ideal) or double cream, dependent on the special occasion. At Christmas we went all-out and added a spoonful of jam. Memories.

My father was stationed in the Far East during the war, when he came home for a short while before going to Germany, his family had a big meal to celebrate, they scraped together their rations and my mum made a surprise dessert, one of my fathers all time favourites, rice pudding, he said to my mum I can’t eat that I’ve had nothing but rice for six years, boiled, fried, or baked with every meal.I was told it took years for him to get his appetite back for rice again I was born in ‘56 and sorry dad I loved my mothers rice pudding

I’m American and I have never heard of pudding rice. In the south we use leftover rice. My mother made delicious rice puddings. It’s a common practice to add raisins in the US.

[@anneann9127]

I love rice pudding and grew up in England with an Irish mum who made it for us. We also had it at school dinners and it was delicious. The American rice pudding is pretty good but I switch out the cinnamon for the nutmeg to make it the traditional English way. My mum who is 90 now and also lives here in the U.S, was just asking me if I knew where she could find the right rice here in the U.S to make it. I stumbled on this video and now know what rice to buy over here. I'm going to buy it and make it for hubby and me. Thank you so much for posting this recipe. :)

[@davidsomboretz5310]

My Mam used to make hers in an oval enamel dish in the oven. Me and me Dad would fight over who got the skin on top - Mam always used pearl rice, think its called pudding rice in supermarkets. Lorna in Northumberland 😋

[@sheilaskitchen]

No need to fight over the skin in my house as my son hates it. I love it 😊

[@JelMain]

Also known as round-grain rice.

[@lentilgirl158]

Hi Sheila! I made this today. It was really delicious. I didn't get the lovely golden skin on the top like yours, it was more of a beige colour, but it tasted great. The nutmeg made all the difference. Just looking at some of the other comments, I wouldn't have made it if it had had condensed milk in it.. way too high in calories. Thanks for all your lovely recipes Sheila. 😋

[@sheilaskitchen]

So glad you liked it 😊

[@alejandrayalanbowman367]

My Nan always used to add a slice of orange peel and a slice of lemon peel. I now, also like to add raisins and sultanas and cook it in a slow cooker.

[@sheilaskitchen]

Oooo that sounds nice 👍

[@barbaraclarke6069]

I use sterilised milk ,add pudding rice and simmer in a pan on the hob for about 30 minutes stir regularly,then add a tin of evaporated milk (or you could use coconut milk)add sugar to taste then pop in an oven proof dish a a bit of butter and nutmeg,then pop in the bottom of the oven for about 45 minutes or until cooked.

[@annecain3301]

Rice pudding is a family favourite. I always make a 2 pint rice pudding as it is just as delicious eaten cold the next day, that ‘s if we don’t have a second helping.

Exactly like l make and my mum used to make. I LOVE nutmeg on mine but, for those who don't like it, cinnamon is also nice. So many happy memories of her carefully dividing up the skin so my brother and l wouldn't fight over it. One of my childhood books had a poem in it by A A Milne that l still think of whenever l make rice pudding and, although l understood the theory of WHY Mary Jane was crying, l thought she was crazy! Rice Pudding What is the matter with Mary Jane? She's crying with all her might and main, And she won't eat her dinner - rice pudding again - What is the matter with Mary Jane? What is the matter with Mary Jane? I've promised her dolls and a daisy-chain, And a book about animals - all in vain - What is the matter with Mary Jane? What is the matter with Mary Jane? She's perfectly well, and she hasn't a pain; But, look at her, now she's beginning again! - What is the matter with Mary Jane? What is the matter with Mary Jane? I've promised her sweets and a ride in the train, And I've begged her to stop for a bit and explain - What is the matter with Mary Jane? What is the matter with Mary Jane? She's perfectly well and she hasn't a pain, And it's lovely rice pudding for dinner again! What is the matter with Mary Jane?

My mum is Northern Irish and always used nutmeg. Here in the U.S they use lots and lots of vanilla and cinnamon.

[@99brucie]

Hi. Anyone else finding difficult to find plain old pudding rice? Or even short grain rice? There is a huge variety in supermarkets but plain old pudding rice? I finally found some in Waitrose but at just over a pound thought it was expensive! Finally bought some in a bigger Sainsbury's but £1.20 for a 500 gems packet! Used to be so cheap and cheerful!!

[@jancolman3307]

My Mum.made the best rice pudding. I use cooked rice and melted butter. Never stirred it once.

[@sheilaskitchen]

You must be from America. I have seen recipes on American KZbin channels using cooked rice for rice pudding... Just realised you said 'mum' so you must be British? Mums will always be the best as it is the one you had in childhood 😄

Do you mean evaporated? Condensed would be sickly

[@alpinealpine2793]

How much shortgrained rice?

[@sheilaskitchen]

The same amount, 2oz. All the ingredients are listed in the description for you to follow. Hope you find that helpful 😊

[@irislorikeet4287]

It would have been so nice if you put a spoonful in the bowl. It would really show how creamy it is and the consistency. It's also a nice way to end a cooking video by platting the recipe.

[@sheilaskitchen]

I agree but this was one of my first videos. You are not the first person to say this 😊 I am thinking of redoing this rice pudding video for a few reasons but mostly because the quality is not good. My first few videos were filmed on an old phone, I have upgraded since.

[@irislorikeet4287]

@sheilaskitchen Actually you're video is fine. I think everything showed well. Don't envest in a new phone yet. You have a soft manner and are precise when talking. Just remember, keep the videos short and don't ramble on ( not that you did ) people look at how long the video is before opening. Anything longer than 6 or 7 minutes they'll pass. You can get a lot done in 7 minutes with proper editing.

It's 25g of caster sugar. I did pin a comment to highlight the mistake I made in the video too, just checked and the comment is still there. Hope you enjoy your rice pudding 😋

[@adrianogley2600]

Sheila in the video, you say 2oz of caster sugar but the description below refers to 1oz....

[@sheilaskitchen]

Thank you so much for noticing, I have checked and you are correct. The correct amount of sugar is 1oz. I made a verbal mistake in the video 😱 That video has been up for a long time and you are the only one that has noticed, thanks for letting me know. When my son (and editor) comes home from work tonight I will pin a message to the video so others are aware. Unfortunately I don't know how to do this myself. Thanks again 🙏

[@kevinhalliday5465]

I tried this 3 times followed the recipe exactly but after one and a half hours it's not cooked takes at least 3hrs in my electric air fryer oven any ideas why

[@sheilaskitchen]

Sorry but I have no idea why. I do not have an air fryer oven and have no idea how they work. All I can suggest is that you cook it in a conventional oven. Sorry I could not be of more help to you.

[@sheilaskitchen]

Me again. I've just googled rice pudding in an air fryer (you got me curious), personally I would not be happy with any of the results, from the ones I looked at anyway. For me the tastiest part of the rice pudding is the skin and all the air fryer recipes used a thing called a paddle so constantly stirred the pudding allowing no crunchy sweet skin to form. However it is possible to make so just Google rice pudding in an air fryer and there are some recipes 👍

[@sheilaskitchen]

Found one with a skin! Watch Susie Hunter Rice pudding with a Ninja, on KZbin. Seems a bit of a faff but the result was very good. She seems to use a Ninja a lot so might be a useful channel for you 😃

[@cazrelda169]

I don't get it. She said she stirs it every 15 minutes, but then said "it's been in the oven for an hour and this is its' second stirring"

[@1962pedro]

dunno what happened to mine ,but it ended up like a bowl of milk with cooked rice floating around

[@sheilaskitchen]

It could of been a number of things: did you use pudding rice, leave it for ten mins more cooking to thicken up, was the oven up to temperature when you put the pudding in, did you use the correct amount of rice, did you use the correct amount of milk. Sorry it did not work out.

[@marysekely9571]

So the only flavoring you use in this pudding is sugar and nutmeg. I use vanilla, no nutmeg, and a lot of it, plus sugar. But your method is what I use, stirring every 15-20 minutes.

[@kaleidoscope8743]

Funny how in America we never bake on 300 really. It's typically 350f or 400f or if really low, it's 250f. I'm intrigued how the British bake on 300f. Can't think of anything I've ever baked on 300f.

[@sheilaskitchen]

Thank you for pointing this out. This recipe is probably over fifty years old. I gave the temperatures that were in the original recipe but I have only cooked this in a gas oven and then, for the past twenty five years, in an electric oven. In the UK the electric ovens are celsius. It just needs to be cooked on a low heat, just enough that the milk does not bubble over in the oven but a nice crusty top/skin forms. Um, delicious! 🥰
