Lightly spiced rice pudding

On this, the Summer Solstice, it shouldd not be a day for rice pudding, especially hot rice pudding. But it’s grey and Tupperware day, so here it is, my ultimate comfort food
You will need
- 50g pudding rice (actually just about any rice will do, amazingly)
- 25g sugar
- about a pint of milk
- a knob of butter
- 8 green Cardamom pods
- a shake of ground cinnamon
- a strip of lemon peel (as long and wide as you like)
Do
- Mix in a oven proof dish
- Bake with a lid on for about 2 hours at about 180 degrees
- Take the lid off for about 15 mins so a skin forms
- Eat with a teaspoon (trust me)
Result
Sightly too wet, sightly under sweet, gently spiced, moreish. Great hot and cold
