- Bring water to a boil in a heavy 3 quart saucepan.
- Stir in raw rice and butter, cooking, uncovered, over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until water is absorbed and rice looks creamy.
- Stir in milk and a small pinch of salt.
- Bring to just a boil over medium high heat, stirring and watching your pot like a hawk so it doesn't burn or boil over -- the second it starts to bubble, remove from heat.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Grease a 1.2-litre (about 5cm deep) ovenproof baking dish (see tip, below left) and stand it on a baking tray. Tip the rice into a pan with both the sugars and all the milk. Split the ½ vanilla pod horizontally, scrape out the seeds into the pan and drop in the pod. Heat the milk, whisking. As it is about to come to the boil, immediately remove from the heat. Pour the mixture into the dish, scraping out all the rice and seeds from the bottom of the pan.
- Bake for 30 mins, then remove and stir. Return the pudding to the oven for another 30 mins. Stir again and return for a further 25-30 mins until the rice is cooked and has absorbed enough of the milk to give the mixture a creamy consistency.
- Remove the pudding, let it sit for 1-2 mins, then stir in the crème fraîche to make it extra creamy. Serve with raspberries, if you like.

Some nice-to-know tips:
Tips:
- Use medium-grain rice. This type of rice has a higher starch content, which makes it creamier and more pudding-like.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking. This will remove any excess starch and help prevent the pudding from becoming gummy.
- Use whole milk or low-fat milk. Skim milk will make the pudding too watery.
- Add sugar to taste. The amount of sugar you add will depend on your personal preference.
- Flavor the pudding with vanilla extract, cinnamon, or nutmeg. You can also add other spices, such as ginger or cloves, to taste.
- Cook the pudding over low heat. This will help prevent the rice from scorching.
- Stir the pudding frequently. This will help prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. This will help it to thicken up.
- Serve the pudding with fresh fruit, nuts, or whipped cream.
