Instructions: They are all the same basic method - you have about 2 oz cereal to 1 pint of milk (500 ml - 2.5 US cups), and the same amount of sugar. You mix the cereal & sugar with 2 tbs of the milk, while you are boiling the rest of the milk. Pour the boiling milk over the cereal mix, stirring all the time, and bring back to the boil, also stirring all the time.

If you use a little more cornflour and some flavouring, it sets to a jelly-like consistency and becomes blanc-mange - chocolate is particularly good. I use only 2 tablespoons cornflour, 1 tbs cocoa powder, and 1-2 tbs demerara sugar, and call the result "Thames mud!" Yummy. Skimmed or semi-skimmed milk means the pudding is low in fat.
