Hazırlanışı

Adım adım

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

   Yaklaşık 10 dk.

2. 2

   Grease a 9x13 inch (or similar 2-liter capacity) baking dish with a tablespoon of butter.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

3. 3

   Spread the rinsed rice evenly in the prepared baking dish.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

4. 4

   In a saucepan, gently warm the milk, heavy cream, salt, and sugar over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm, but not boiling.

   Yaklaşık 5 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Do not overheat the milk mixture; just warm enough to dissolve the sugar and help the butter melt.

5. 5

   Pour the warm milk mixture over the rice in the baking dish.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

6. 6

   Dot the remaining butter over the top of the rice and milk mixture.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

   Aşçının notu: The butter will melt and create a beautiful golden crust.

7. 7

   Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

   Yaklaşık 30 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Keep an eye on the top; if it browns too quickly, you can loosely cover it with foil.

8. 8

   Reduce the oven temperature to 175°C (350°F), cover the dish tightly with foil, and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.

   Yaklaşık 30 dk.

   Aşçının notu: The foil traps steam, allowing the rice to cook through evenly without drying out.

9. 9

   Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest, covered, for 10 minutes before serving.

   Yaklaşık 10 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Resting allows the rice to fully absorb any remaining liquid and become even more tender.
