rice pudding in retro dish

A rainy day is a perfect day to make rice pudding. One quart of whole milk, one cup of short-grain rice, a tablespoon of butter, a little sugar (about a quarter cup), nutmeg, and cinammon all go into a 300 degree oven for three hours. Stir once after the first hour and once after the second hour or so but not in the last half hour if you want the pudding to have a nice brown skin. Throw in a few raisins in the last half hour if you like. Serve with honey or maple syrup. The pudding makes the house smell warm and milky and spicey all afternoon...
