Melted butter

Adds fat and richness, keeping the rice cakes moist and tender.

Lemon juice

Adds acidity that brightens the sweetness and balances the richness.

Raisin wine

Adds liquid and fruity aroma to flavour the pudding.

White sugar

Adds sweetness and helps the top develop a light surface.
