From this link

Ingredients

100g/3½oz sultanas
1 mug hot strong black tea
1.3 litres/2 pints 7fl oz milk
300ml/10½fl oz double cream
200g/7oz pudding rice
100g/3½oz golden granulated sugar
pinch freshly ground nutmeg
1 vanilla pod, split, seeds scraped out
clotted cream, to serve
jam, to serve

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 160C/320F/Gas 2.
2. Place the sultanas in a bowl and pour over the hot tea. Set aside to soak for ten minutes, then drain (discard the tea).
3. In a large casserole dish or rice pudding dish (roughly 30cm x 20cm/12in x 8in), mix together the milk and cream. Stir in the rice, sugar and a pinch of nutmeg. Add the vanilla pod and seeds, then stir in the soaked sultanas.
4. Cover the dish with a lid or sheet of aluminium foil, then cook in the oven for 1½ hours. Remove the lid or foil and cook for a further 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the top is lightly golden and has formed a skin.
5. To serve, spoon the rice pudding into serving bowls and serve with spoonfuls of clotted cream and jam.
