Kazandibi

Kazandibi is a traditional Turkish milk pudding with a caramelized top, originating from Ottoman cuisine. It is made by thickening milk with rice flour and sugar, then spreading a portion onto a buttered surface where it caramelizes as it cooks. This process creates a distinctive burnt layer, giving Kazandibi its signature flavor and texture. It is typically served chilled and has a creamy, slightly chewy consistency with a delicate sweetness. Often enjoyed as a dessert, it is commonly found in Turkish restaurants and patisseries.
