Sutlach Turkish dessert

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to prepare sütlach Turkish dessert? Prepare all the necessary ingredients for dessert. Take short-grain rice. The yolks must come from large, selected eggs. It is better to take thicker milk. The taste of the finished dish will depend on this.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the rice thoroughly until the water runs clear. Place the cereal in a saucepan, pour in 300 ml of water and boil until tender over low heat for about 15-20 minutes. During this time, the water usually completely boils away. If the water has boiled away and the rice is not quite ready, it doesn’t matter, it will be ready while the dessert is baking in the oven.

3. STEP 3

   

   Dissolve the starch in the remaining 100 ml of cold water.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the yolks in a deep bowl and add sugar. Place the bowl in a water bath and beat the contents until light and fluffy. I do this with a mixer, but you can also use a regular whisk.

5. STEP 5

   

   Meanwhile, bring the milk to a boil, but do not boil.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour a little hot milk into the yolk mixture in a thin stream with constant stirring. You don’t need to pour all the milk into the yolks at once, otherwise the yolks will quickly curdle and form flakes, but we need homogeneity.

7. STEP 7

   

   Then pour the resulting mass into the remaining hot milk.

8. STEP 8

   

   Bring milk with sugar and yolks to a boil over low heat. Add rice, vanilla sugar and diluted starch. If you use vanillin, add just a little bit at the tip of the knife, otherwise it will add bitterness to the dish. Stirring, bring the mixture to a boil and remove from heat.

9. STEP 9

   

   You can immediately pour the resulting mass into bowls or molds and cool at room temperature, and then serve in the refrigerator.

10. STEP 10

    

    But I advise you to additionally bake the sutlach in the oven. To do this, transfer the milk-rice mixture into baking molds and place on a baking sheet filled with 1 cm of water. Place the baking sheet with the dessert in an oven preheated to 200°C for 15-20 minutes. Then turn on the top grill and cook the dessert for another 5-7 minutes or a little longer, until a dark crust appears on the surface.

11. STEP 11

    

    In the same way, cool the hot syutlach first at room temperature and then in the refrigerator, since this dessert is usually served only cold. Bon appetit!

I have never made sutlach, a Turkish dessert. It became very interesting what it was. I decided to try it, I had all the ingredients on hand. I prepared it for fewer servings, reducing the amount of ingredients using the site’s calculator, which is very convenient. I did everything exactly according to the recipe, so as not to confuse where and how much to add. The cooking process is not complicated. You need to read carefully and do everything exclusively step by step. The resulting mass was poured into two bowls and placed in the oven as described in the recipe. The remaining mixture was poured into silicone molds and placed in the refrigerator. The dessert will brown very well in the oven and smell tender and sweet. After cooling completely, it froze. But the desserts from the refrigerator did not harden, they remained liquid. The taste of sutlach is very similar to ice cream, and the rice does not feel like cereal in the dessert. My family liked the original and unusual dessert. Many thanks to the author for the idea!
