About this dish
Sütlaç is a classic Turkish rice pudding made with milk, sugar and rice. It is served cold, often with cinnamon on top.
Ingredients
- 100 g pudding rice or short-grain rice
- 500 ml water
- 1 litre whole milk
- 150 g sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 100 ml milk for mixing the cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
- Cinnamon for serving
Instructions
- Rinse the rice and place it in a saucepan with the water.
- Cook over medium heat until the rice is soft and most of the water has been absorbed.
- Add the whole milk, sugar, vanilla sugar and salt.
- Simmer for 20–25 minutes. Stir often so it does not stick to the bottom.

- Pour the mixture into the saucepan while stirring.
- Cook for another 5 minutes until the sütlaç thickens slightly.
- Divide into bowls and cool completely.
Tips

- Sütlaç should be creamy, not too thick.
- Serve cold with cinnamon on top. It can also be lightly baked in the oven for a golden surface.
