Steps:
- Heat oven to 350ºF (175ºC)
- Butter the inside edge (no need to do the bottom) of a baking dish, then add the rice and the milk and cream (if using).
- Now add the sugar, and stir until it dissolves.
- Add a pat of butter, and a little sprinkle of nutmeg.
- Place the dish in the center of the pre-heated oven, and set the timer for 30 mins.
- After 30 minutes, take the dish out of the oven, stir well, and return it to the oven. Set the timer for another hour.
- Check the pudding after an hour, and you may have to break the skin to check the rice. Continue to cook for up to another half hour, if necessary. The rice pudding is ready when it has started to thicken (it won't be runny).
- Remove the rice pudding from the oven, and let cool slightly before serving. Spoon into dishes, and serve with a dash of cinnamon, if desired. Rice pudding is also delicious when served cold. Add some chopped fruit, raisins, or coconut. It's a very easy dessert to make, and to serve. You can even serve it to look like an egg, as they do in Italy-just place a peach half on top.

I was fortunate to grow up around fabulous cooks. My mother and grandmother taught me to experiment with recipes, and we tried a lot of variations on this one. No matter how we chose to embellish it, it was always tasty. When I make this, it brings fond memories to mind. -Laura German, North Brookfield, Massachusetts

- Add a touch of vanilla extract: This will enhance the flavor of the pudding without overpowering it.
- Cook the pudding slowly over low heat: This will help to prevent it from curdling.
- Stir the pudding constantly: This will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
- Let the pudding cool slightly before serving: This will allow it to thicken up and set.
