BAKED RICE PUDDING (FIRIN SÜTLAÇ)

Ingredients

For the rice

2 cups of milk

1 tea glass of rice

For the pudding

1 liter of milk

1 tablespoon of wheat starch

1 tablespoon of rice flour

1 cup of granulated sugar

For the topping

Finely chopped hazelnuts

Preparation

First, place your pot on the stove and add the milk. Add the rice and boil over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the rice is soft. Add the sugar to the rice boiled in milk and stir. In a large bowl, mix 1 liter of milk, starch, and rice flour. Then, add the starch-milk mixture you prepared and cook, stirring constantly, until it thickens. Divide the slightly thickened pudding into earthenware bowls arranged on a baking tray. Add water to the bottom of the baking tray until it reaches a quarter of the height of the bowls. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees until the tops are browned. Remove from the oven, let it reach room temperature, and then cool in the refrigerator. Serve with chopped hazelnuts. Enjoy your meal.

TIP...

Before putting the pudding in the oven, don't forget to add water to the baking tray! The reason for this is to prevent the surface of the pudding from cracking.
