I have been making this pudding for years and it is now a family favorite.

Great served hot with custard on those cold wintery days.

Warm with spoon of rice pudding or ice cream on the side.

It tastes just as good cold.

I would advise to keep any left overs in the fridge covered with cling film - keep lovely and moist.
