| 200 Mls Water |
| 2 Cardamom pods, Crushed |
| 1 Clove |
| 50 Grams Broken rice (Kırık Prinç) |

Rice Pudding Sütlaç With Honey & Rose Directions
- Wash the rice and leave it to soak in water for ten minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the water and spices into a medium saucepan and bring to the boil before simmering for 10 minutes.
- Add the rice to the saucepan and bring once again to heat but do not boil.
- Cook for around 15 minutes or until the water has been absorbed.
- Remove the spices and stir in the milk and honey until dissolved.
- Cook on a moderate heat for around 30 minutes with regular stirring. The more you stir the smoother the pudding outcome will be.
- In a small glass add a couple of tablespoons of the hot milk and stir in the rice flour, rose water and vanilla extract, stir to make a thick paste.
- Add to the saucepan and cook on a low boil for a further 10 minutes.
- The pudding will thicken and can be poured into traditional sutlaç pots or ramekins that have been placed on an oven tray.
- Turn on the oven to 200 degrees.
- Allow the Turkish rice puddings to sit for 10-15 minutes while the oven preheats and to form a thin skin.
- Cook in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the tops have sufficiently browned.
- Traditionally the rice desserts are cooled and served chilled but can be enjoyed warm.
- Served top with ground pistachios or flaked almonds.
Recipe notes
- The dessert can be finished in the oven or completely cooked on the stovetop - simply increase the cooking time and stirring until the desired thickness and creaminess is achieved.
- This recipe has a reduced amount of honey, for a sweeter treat increase to 3 or tablespoons of honey. Or substitute for sugar. A cup of sugar is often added to standard sutlaç in Turkey.
- This recipe has a grainer texture than the pudding often served in restaurants and pudding shops in Turkey. To achieve this reduce the rice and increase the rice flour.
