Yes, short grain rice and yes, it is hard to find. Some people suggest arborio rice, but i dont find it as nice as the short grain, however, no doubt I will be corrected. New World will often have it and you MAY have luck at a Binn Inn store. I place rice into baking dish and add milk ( a little sugar to your taste) dot with 2-3 knobs of butter and bake slowly at about 160C. As it cooks and thickens, give it a stir and add a can of evaporated milk - this gives it a lovely creamy taste. You can add sultanas if you like them too and yes, a sprinkle of nutmeg is always nice. The trick of a creamy rice pudding is the slow cooking and a good creamy milk. By adding the evaporated milk, it gives it a taste like the tinned English "Ambrosia" rice which is delicious.
