It most probably comes directly from our Turkish neighbors and it’s called “Sütlaç” in Turkey, and a bunch of other Balkan countries, our research shows.

Our research (and experience) also shows that rice puddings are found in nearly every corner of the world, and despite being similar recipe ingredients vary considerably. The Bulgarianeasy rice pudding recipe is the one I love the most. It is usually boiled, cooled, and eaten cold.

The list of rice pudding ingredients is much simpler and usually don’t includes butter, eggs, nuts, dry fruits, cream, zest, jam or anything more than rice, milk, sugar and cinnamon. As it was a kindergarten staple, there are many grownups that refuse even to give it second chance and others like me, to whom this genuine dessert brings nice childhood memories from the first spoon.

The rice, used for easy rice pudding recipe is round and short, and when cooked produces a creamier consistency than the other types, but any short grain rice can be used as a substitute.
