How To Make old fashioned baked custard rice pudding

• 1

  Preheat oven to 350. Put a kettle of water on to boil.
• 2

  Beat eggs with whisk until light. An electric mixer will overmix this recipe, don't use one.
• 3

  Add sugar and whisk to combine.
• 4

  Add the rest of the ingredients except the nutmeg. Mix until just combined.
• 5

  Pour into a deep baking dish and sprinkle generously with nutmeg.
• 6

  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. Put both of these in the oven and pour hot water to the correct level in the outside pan.
• 7

  Bake at 350 40 to 45 minutes. 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.

  Serve warm with the delicious butter pooling around it. If you don't want the butter to rise to the top mix more aggressively during preparation or use the mixer I warned against in the second step.
