Ingredients


45 g pudding rice, short grain, rinsed (1 1/2 oz)

45 g muscavado sugar, (1 1/2 oz)

700 ml skimmed milk, (1 1/4 pints)

1 pinch salt

1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated or ground



Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 170°C / 325°F / Gas Mark 3.



2. Tip the rice into a 1.25 litre (2 1/4 pint) deep ovenproof dish. Add the sugar, milk, salt, vanilla extract and nutmeg. Stir to dissolve the sugar.



3. Bake the pudding in the centre of the oven for 1 1/4 hours.



Cook’s tip: Light muscovado sugar gives a delicious caramelised flavour to the pudding, though you could use golden caster sugar instead.
