    Sugar and vanilla lend a gentle sweetness.

    Baked until the top turns golden and lightly scorched.

A journey through time

  1. The sultans’ table

    Milk puddings were favourites of the Topkapı Palace.

  2. The muhallebi art

    It belongs to the great Ottoman family of milk desserts.

  3. dziś

    An everyday treat

    Today sütlaç is in every Turkish patisserie and home.

Good to know

Humble rice turns into a creamy, elegant treat.

The toasted top

That baking sets sütlaç apart from plain rice pudding.

Served cold

Best enjoyed chilled, straight from the fridge.
