Steps:
- Gather the ingredients. Heat the oven to 300 F/150 C.
- Lightly butter a 1.25-liter ovenproof pudding dish or an 8 x 8-inch square baking dish.
- Combine the milk and cream in a saucepan. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla pod using the back of a knife. Add the seeds to the pan and stir to disperse them. Drop in the vanilla pod. Heat the milk and cream through very gently; do not let it boil.
- Move the pan off the heat and leave the milk to infuse for 5 minutes. Remove the vanilla pod.
- Spread the rice and sugar in the buttered dish. Pour the warmed milk over it and stir thoroughly. Add the lemon strips and stir again.
- Grate a thick layer of nutmeg to generously cover the top.
- Place the dish on a baking sheet and carefully put it in the center of the preheated oven. Bake the pudding for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, until it turns creamy and thick and forms a skin of nutmeg on top.
- Let the pudding cool and set for about 15 minutes. Serve the rice pudding on its own or with stewed fruit such as poached pears or roasted rhubarb. You could also add a dollop of homemade jam on top.

TRADITIONAL BRITISH GROUND RICE PUDDING (MICROWAVE VERSION)
This recipe is the microwave version which was on the side of a Whitworth's Brand Ground Rice packet along with the Baked version that I'm more familiar with. I've hunted for ages to try and find the old recipe I used to have when I was small and this looks like it. I'm sure my mum used to add a few drops of vanilla essence, a 'knob' of butter (a bit cut off the corner of a slab) and an egg white (possibly the whole egg, - can't remember :). She also used to add a little nutmeg and a little cinnamon and mix them in before cooking. Nice served hot or chilled with jam (jelly). IMPORTANT NOTE: Although originally listing as 'untried', since then I've actually made this version. The recipe as shown here is as it was shown on the packet. No Microwave power rating was given so timings must be assumed to be dependent on your machine. ALSO A WARNING: When I made it, once it boiled, it rose up to the top of the dish. Fortunately I was watching at the time so I stopped the microwave. In the end I found it necessary from that point to cook it on the defrost setting until it was suitably thick. (My machine has only Off/On/Defrost buttons - it's very old!). Took about the same amount of time - somewhere around 10 minutes overall. Notwitstanding that minor shock, it was absolutely wonderful to eat. Similar to semolina pudding, but much, much nicer. I added a couple of drops of vanilla flavor, a dash of nutmeg and a very small pinch of cinnamon before putting in the microwave and would recommend doing the same. Served as I did with a manually home-made coarse puree of fresh strawberries (and sweetener) and dollop of 'sweetenered' Greek-style yoghurt then sprinkled liberally with cinnamon. Absolutely heavenly! - I'll be making this a lot!!

TRADITIONAL BRITISH GROUND RICE PUDDING
This recipe was on the side of a Whitworth's Brand Ground Rice packet. I've hunted for ages to try and find the old recipe I used to have when I was small and this looks like it. I've not tried it yet (will probably do the microwave version (also on the packet) which I'm adding next). Should be very nice. My mum used to add a few drops of vanilla essence, a 'knob' (a bit cut off the corner of a slab...) of butter and an egg white (possibly the whole egg, - can't remember :). She also used to add a little nutmeg and a little cinnamon and mix them in before putting in the oven dish to bake.

OLD-FASHIONED RICE PUDDING I
This pudding turns out in a lovely custard texture. A great balm for those seeking a return to some of the old-fashioned foods of their youth! We like it best because it is oven-baked and not made on the stove top.
