Fırın Sütlaç – the Sweet Pride of Turkish Cuisine

Fırın Sütlaç is a traditional Turkish rice pudding made with milk, rice, sugar, and a hint of vanilla. Baked in small clay pots, it develops a golden-brown crust on top that gives the dessert its unique taste and character.

The history of this treat dates back to the Ottoman Empire, where milk-based desserts were especially cherished in the sultan’s palace. Over time, Fırın Sütlaç became a beloved part of everyday life in Turkey – enjoyed at home, in cafés, and during celebrations.

Today, Fırın Sütlaç is more than just a dessert – it is a symbol of hospitality and togetherness. It is the perfect ending to a rich meal and a true taste of authentic Turkish tradition.
