Baked Rice pudding

Ingredients :
250ml uncooked rice
1 litre milk
250ml white sugar
4 exstra large eggs, beaten
410g evaporated milk
10ml vanilla essence
60ml soft brown sugar

Method :
Cook (boil) the rice until done, then drain.
Place the rice back into the saucepan and add the milk and white sugar.
Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer slowly for about 45 minutes until most of the milk has been absorbed or cooked away and the mixture takes on a creamy texture.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool down slightly.
Preheat the oven to 160C and grease 7 small glass ramekins.
Beat the eggs, evaporated milk and vanilla essence and stir into the rice.
Scoop the mixture into the ramekins and place them into a roasting tray, filled half-way with hot water.
Place in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes.
Leave the ramekins in the water for about 15 minutes, once removed from the oven.
Remove the ramekins from the roasting tray and sprinkle a generous amount of the brown sugar on top of each one.
Switch the oven to "Grill" and place the ramekins about 20cm below the grill element and grill until the sugar has melted and caramelized.
Serve shortly after removing from the oven.
