Step 1

Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (all types).

Step 2

Grease a 10 cup+ casserole dish with butter.

Step 3

Place milk, sugar and vanilla in a saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar, until the surface is foamy - do not boil, it will split.

Step 4

Place rice, sultanas and cinnamon in baking dish. Pour over milk, give it a brief stir then cover with lid or foil.

Step 5

Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes to break up the rice that starts to set on the base.

Step 6

After 1 hour, remove from oven and add cream. Give it a good stir - it will look a bit watery straight out of the oven but it evaporates quickly. I like mine creamy so it oozes when you serve it.

Step 7

Serve immediately, just as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you want to take it over the top!
