Nigel Slater

Serves **4**

Ingredients

**8 heaped tablespoons arborio or pudding rice
300ml milk
300ml double cream**
(or 400ml tin coconut milk + 200ml water) **a vanilla pod**, split in half lengthways or **1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 tbsps water
large knob of butter** (or alternative) **4 tbsps caster sugar**

Method

1. Put the rice in a medium-sized, heavy-based pan, then pour in the milk, cream, vanilla pod or extract and water. Bring to the boil over a medium heat, then turn down the flame until the milk is bubbling gently. Let it cook for 15-20 minutes.
2. Add the butter, no more than an ounce, whip out the vanilla pod, and stir in the sugar. When the sugar has dissolved, the pudding is ready.
3. Serve with a sprinkling of ground nutmeg or cinnamon.
