Heather makes a rice pudding (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erica

'heather' is the definition.
(the plant genus Erica includes heather plants)

'a rice pudding' is the wordplay.
'pudding' indicates an anagram (a mixture or pudding of the letters).
'a'+'rice'='arice'
'arice' anagrammed gives 'ERICA'.

'makes' is the link.

(Other definitions for erica that I've seen before include "Moorland plant, girl's name" , "growing up on the moors" , "ling" , "found on the moors" , "Girl's name - I care (anag)" .)
