Preparation – 15 minutes
Set aside a small splash of buttermilk in a small bowl and heat the rest of the buttermilk in a medium saucepan over a low heat.
Once the buttermilk is warm, add the rice. Cook gently until the rice is almost cooked.
Stir the flour into the reserved cold buttermilk to make a paste, and stir this into the warm buttermilk together with the unrefined sugar. Beat until smooth, with a whisk, to avoid lumps.
