Sütlaç, or Turkish rice pudding, is a very popular traditional dessert in Turkey. The dessert is usually served in a clay bowl and it can be served either hot or cold.
It was first prepared in the Royal Ottoman kitchen. The pudding is made with rice cooked in milk thickened with a ground rice/milk mixture and it is also sometimes flavoured with vanilla. In the Ottoman days, all these ingredients were very valuable and only the wealthiest could afford this dessert. Nowadays, of course, you can get them everywhere.
The one we tried was very creamy. It has a hint of vanilla and it is not extremely sweet, like the other Turkish desserts. It is one of the few Turkish desserts which I like and probably will eat again.
