Retro Classics Rice Pudding

Retro Classics: Some of us remember the milk puddings of our childhood as the ultimate creamy comfort food, while to others they were the stuff of nightmares. Either way, it’s worth giving them another go as they’re so simple to make and can be cooked on a low shelf in the oven at the same time as your main course.

Top Tips: Sweeten with honey instead of sugar.
Top with chopped tropical fruit.
