When I was a child, my mother often made us baked rice for breakfast. Now that I am thinking to ask her for her method, she can’t remember it.

I am remembering crunchy top, creamy insides, which makes me think it probably was cooked with milk. Probably some mild spice like cinnamon, no other “things” (raisins etc)

I have looked at baked rice pudding recipes but knowing what her budget would have been 40 years ago, doubt she could have afforded eggs.

So, I am looking for a very simple baked rice technique – did anyone else’s mother/grandmother do something like this?
