I do this slightly different as i didnt like it wen i cooked it in water.
3oz pudding rice, 3quarters pint of semi skimmed milk, 5-6 tbsps sweetner. Mixed together and stick in oven for half hour at gas 3. stir and cook for another half hour. Stir, add nutmeg to top. cook for 10 mins and then eat!!!! I cook this for 2people and is syn free if you count the milk as hexA.
I find it comes out a bit creamier this way which is how i like it!! YUMMY!! Would make this tonight but i already decided on having a Vegetable biryani and i think two rice dishes may be a bit much!! LOL!!
