fırın sütlaç
Turkish milk-and-rice pudding baked until its creamy surface is deeply browned.

About fırın sütlaç
Fırın sütlaç is the baked form of Turkish rice pudding, served in individual dishes with a browned surface. This profile follows a whole-milk version with short-grain rice, white sugar, vanilla and cornstarch.
Milk and rice create a gentle creamy sweetness, while vanilla supplies a soft aromatic note. Baking adds a lightly caramelised flavour to the top without turning the pudding into a caramel custard.
The pudding is pale, creamy and spoonable beneath a mottled dark-golden skin. Tender rice grains remain visible in the soft base, contrasting with the slightly firmer baked surface.
