Gayle, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. I love my stovetop rice pudding and have been making it for almost 20 years, but for almost that long I have been searching for an oven-baked rice pudding that was creamy and custardy. And now I've found it! I don't usually like rice puddings made with long-grain rice — they're usually too chewy and too dry — but this was absolutely superb. It is very moist with lots of custard. The instructions are clear and simple and the recipe was easy to prepare. I sprinkled cinnamon on the individual servings as I dished it out. Now I know what I will be doing with all my leftover rice — making this yummy dessert! Thanks so much for posting this recipe!

Wow!! Now this is rice custard the way my Great-Gran used to make. Never thought I would find a recipe even remotely close. Just brilliant. I agree with Lennie, very creamy, custardy and easy. My Great Gran used to sprinke hers with some cinnamon sugar so that is what I did. Delicious. Thanks Gayle

I've never made rice pudding (or custard) before. This turned out really well! I added cinnamon and substitued in one cup of buttermilk. I needed to bake it for much longer than the recipe called for, but that is likely due to my prehistoric oven. I plan to make this when my mother comes to visit next. Thanks for posting...

This rice pudding turned out wonderfully!! I did make a few adjustments like I only added 4 eggs, and I doubled the rice. I loved it and I will certainly be making it again. Thanks Gayle for a great recipe to add to my collection.

My husband and I couldn't decide if we should make rice pudding or baked custard for dessert tonight so we compromised and this recipe was absolutely delicious!!! We ate it warm and sprinkled cinnamon sugar and nutmeg on the top before baking to give it a crust.

I grew up with this recipe and love it. It was also my Dad's favourite, really, he would pick it in preference to chocolate cake or just about anything.

My search is over! I've been looking for a delicious baked rice pudding recipe for a while and I am glad I found it. And with raisins yet; a plus. We have a weekly "Recipe Exchange" column in our local newspaper and a few days ago a local who wrote in was looking for a recipe exactly like this one. I forwarded it; hopefully they will print this in the column this upcoming week. Thanks for a great recipe.

Very creamy and smooth and sooo comforting, and so easy to make. I added cinnamon and another 1/2 c of rice, and it took closer to 90 min to cook, but it was great. This was the perfect thing for my poor sick family (chicken pox and ear infections!) Thanks!!

I agree that this is simply the best recipe hands down for rice custard pudding. I made this for the first time on Thanksgiving 2007 and doubled the recipe without any problems.

Absolutely fabulous! I made exactly as directed without any alterations or changes to the recipe. This pudding has a rich custard which beautifully incorporates the rice in simple recipe that bakes in the oven. Don't throw out that left-over rice! Use it to create fabulous dessert for tomorrow night's supper ; )
