Tip

PUDDING TWISTS
Try swapping the vanilla for lemon or orange zest to change the flavour. Alternatively, use vegan spread, coconut milk and coconut cream to make the pudding dairy-free.

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and butter a 1.5-litre baking dish. Put the pudding rice, sugar, vanilla, milk and cream in a bowl and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and grate over a generous layer of nutmeg. Bake for 1 hr 30 mins until a brown skin has formed on top and the rice is cooked and tender.

  2. Leave to cool slightly, then scoop the warm pudding into bowls and serve with a dollop of jam on top.
