1. Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Place the flour in a separate mixing bowl, then rub in the butter with your fingertips until breadcrumb-like in texture.

2. Place the milk, cinnamon and 2 t of the cinnamon-and-sugar mixture in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and whisk in the flour mixture.

3. Cook, stirring, until the mixture coats the back of a spoon, about 5 - 10 minutes, or until your desired consistency is reached.

4. Serve with a scattering of cinnamon and sugar and a sprinkle of deep-fried pasta.

5. To make the crispy pasta, heat the oil in a deep saucepan over a medium heat. Drop the pasta into the oil and fry for about 20 seconds; it should turn brown/caramel in colour. Drain on kitchen paper.
