Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

Add milk, vanilla essence and pudding rice to a saucepan and bring to the boil. Once it reaches boiling turn down heat immediately to simmer and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.

Step 2

Once the rice is tender, take off the heat and add the goats butter. Mix thoroughly along with the cinnamon or nutmeg.

Step 3

Serve with honey, or flaked almonds and stewed fruit if you like.
