Sütlaç Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Rice

   Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice with 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

2. 2

   Make the Pudding Base

   In a separate large saucepan, combine the cooked rice, 4 cups of milk, and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 15-20 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Flavorings

   Stir in the vanilla extract and butter until melted and well combined.

4. 4

   Thicken the Pudding

   In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Gradually add this slurry to the pudding while stirring continuously. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.

5. 5

   Cool and Serve

   Remove the pudding from heat and let it cool slightly. You can serve it warm or pour it into individual bowls and refrigerate until chilled. Optionally, sprinkle some cinnamon on top before serving.
