Ingredients

1 cup sugar
1 quart whole milk (2% will do but it's not the same)
3 tablespoons rice (short or medium grain; white provides the best result)

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 350°F
2

Combine ingredients in a dutch oven or buttered casserole. (I use Ada's cast iron dutch oven; no butter needed.)
3

Stir and put on middle shelf in oven without a lid.
4

Now and again, break the milky scum that appears, scrape the sides, and stir. (This is crucial to creaminess.)
5

Bake until a light caramel color, 1.5 hours or more, depending on your oven.
6

Serve at room temperature or chilled.
