I’d forgotten just how good rice pudding is. The last time I made it a faffed about with a recipe from some flash cookery book, vanilla pods, double cream and pudding rice, it was incredible when I’d finished, but it took a hell of a long time to make!

This time I had a quick look at the River Cottage website, commited the ratios to memory (1 butter, 1 sugar, 2 rice, lots of milk) and just made it.

Total prep time, including melting the butter, 5 minutes. Two Hours in the oven, awesome.

I was going to put up a picture of my one, but I ate it.

Not a bad pudding for less than $2!
