Rice Pudding

Murat wanted to make sutlac (Turkish rice pudding), but didn't have any cornstarch. This was my attempt. Doesn't look anything like sutlac, but it's really, really good anyway :) I'm thinking some cardammon would be good in it (just a touch) but I didn't have any on hand. You could also add raisins (towards the end to make them plump) if you felt like it.

Ingredients

1 cup cooked rice (cook about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of dry rice, cooked)
2 cups whole milk (I put half and half or cream in for some of the milk)
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 cup honey/sugar (I use a 3:1 ratio, about; add about 1/8 cup of honey and increase sweetness to taste)

Directions

1. Heat rice, milk, and vanilla together over medium heat; once it starts to boil, lower heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes to thicken

2. Add sugar/honey, cinnamon, and salt and mix well (I topped with sliced almonds)

3. Pour into 4 small bowls and cool in the refridgerator (not when it's too hot, or you'll take the heat away from other things in your fridge!)
