Hungarian Baked Rice Pudding

Hungarian Baked Rice Pudding is one of the most popular recipes in Hungarian households. It is light, fluffy and delicious. This is a cheap and fairly quick dessert which can be enjoyed hot or cold. The recipes vary from one home to the other, and so is the way people prefer to have it: moist or well-baked, with jam or custard, with or without icing sugar on top, and the list goes on. We prefer ours with a crusty layer on the top, so bake it until golden and crispy. And sultanas or raisins are a must! But you can omit them if you are not a fan. 😀
