Mary Berry Rice Pudding is a creamy oven-baked dessert made with pudding rice, whole milk, sugar, and butter. It slowly bakes until the rice becomes tender and the top forms a golden, slightly caramelised skin—one of the most loved features of old-fashioned British puddings.
100g pudding rice
750ml whole milk
25g butter
50g caster sugar
Pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon (optional)
Vanilla extract (optional)
Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 150°C (300°F) for gentle baking.
Grease the baking dish: Lightly butter the dish to prevent sticking.
Add the rice: Spread the pudding rice evenly across the base.
Pour in the milk: Add whole milk slowly, ensuring even coverage.
Stir in sweetness: Mix in caster sugar and optional vanilla.
Dot with butter: Place butter pieces on top for extra richness.
Add spices: Sprinkle nutmeg or cinnamon for gentle warmth.
Bake slowly: Place in the oven and bake for 2 hours, stirring halfway.
Check the texture: Bake until the rice is soft and the top is golden.
Rest and serve: Allow it to cool slightly before serving warm.
