How To Make old-fashioned baked custard rice pudding

• Step 1
  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Put a kettle of water on to boil.
• Step 2
  Beat eggs with a whisk until light. An electric mixer will overmix this recipe; don't use one.
• Step 3
  Add sugar and whisk to combine.
• Step 4
  Whisk in milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
• Step 5
  Mix in the rice.
• Step 6
  Pour into a greased 2.5-quart baking dish. Sprinkle the top with nutmeg.
• Step 7
  This needs to bake in a water bath. Place the baking dish in another oven-proof pan deep enough for the water to be about 1 1/2 inches deep.
• Step 8
  Put both of these in the oven and pour hot water to the correct level in the outside pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 60 - 70 minutes.
• Step 9
  A knife should come out clean. Don't be surprised if a layer of butter has risen to the top with the nutmeg floating in it.
• Step 10
  Remove the baking dish from the water bath. Let it set up for at least 15 minutes.
• Step 11
  Serve warm with the delicious butter pooling around it.
