Ingredients

For The Rice
  • 50 grams short grain rice
  • 110 millilitres water (just enough to cover)
For The Pudding
  • 80 grams sugar
  • 450 millilitres fresh whole milk
  • 100 millilitres double cream
  • 1 dessert spoon cornstarch
  • 1 dessert spoon vanilla extract (or 1 sachet of vanilla sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (to garnish)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add your water and rice to a medium-sized saucepan.
  2. Bring the water to the boil and then simmer until the water has been absorbed and the rice is cooked.
  3. Now add the milk, leaving a splash (around 30 millilitres) behind.
  4. Pour in the sugar and the double cream and stir together.
  5. Bring the mixture to the boil.
  6. Meanwhile, add the remainder of your milk to your cornstarch and stir until the cornstarch is dissolved.
  7. Turn the heat down to medium and gradually pour in your cornstarch and milk mixture, stirring constantly.
  8. Continue to stir your sütlaç gently for around 15 minutes until the pudding is thick and creamy.
To Serve
    Cup of Yum
  1. Share your sütlaç between 4 small, individual oven-proof bowls, dust the tops with a little cinnamon (if using) and allow to cool a little so that it sets on top.
  2. Preheat your grill and place your bowls of sütlaç under the heat until the top bubbles and darkens.
  3. Allow to cool and then place in the fridge for a couple of hours.
  4. Eat your sütlaç directly from the dish.

Notes

  • Use the measurements in this sütlaç recipe as a guide. You can decide over time how starchy you like your sütlaç or how much rice to milk ratio you prefer.
  • In Turkey, sütlaç is served in individual oven-proof terracotta sütlaç bowls. If you don't have small oven proof bowls, you can use foil cases.
  • You can eat your sütlaç hot but it is traditionally eaten cold, straight from the fridge.
