To Serve
- 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.
- Preheat your grill and place your bowls of sütlaç under the heat until the top bubbles and darkens.
- Allow to cool and then place in the fridge for a couple of hours.
- 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.
