About this dish

This Norman rice pudding develops its signature amber crust through hours of patient, low, undisturbed baking — whole milk from the region and a bold hand with cinnamon are non-negotiable.

Method

1

Measure the rice, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg into a large, deep earthenware or heavy ceramic baking dish (about 28–30 cm diameter, at least 6 cm deep). Stir briefly to combine.

Approx. 5 minutes
2

Pour the whole milk over the dry ingredients and stir well until the sugar is dissolved and everything is evenly distributed.

Approx. 3 minutes
3

Place the dish, uncovered, in a cold oven and set the temperature to 150°C, or 130°C for a fan oven, or gas mark 2 — this gentle start prevents the milk from scalding unevenly. Bake undisturbed for about 1 hour, until a pale skin begins to form across the surface and the edges show the first signs of colour.

Approx. 2 minutes
4

Reduce the oven temperature to 130°C, or 110°C for a fan oven, or gas mark a half and continue baking undisturbed for a further 3 hours, without stirring or breaking the skin, until the top is deep amber-brown and the pudding beneath is thick, creamy, and barely trembles at the centre when the dish is gently nudged.

Approx. 1 minute
5

Remove from the oven and allow to rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving — the pudding will continue to set as it cools. Serve warm or at room temperature directly from the dish.
