method
1. Wash the rice in cold water, drain and place in the top of a double saucepan with the milk.
2. Cover the pan and cook the mixture gently over simmering water for 2 - 2 1/2 hours until the grain is tender and the milk almost absorbed.
3. Stir occasionally to prevent the grain from settling on the bottom of the pan.
4. Stir the sugar, vanilla and butter into the mixture and pour into a wetted 1 litre (1 3/4 pint) mould or basin. Chill until set.
5. Turn out and serve with stewed fruit or jam.
