DAMLA SAKIZLI MUHALLEBİ


MASTIC GUM PUDDING

This is the second "mastic gum" recipe after the cookies. I just love the smell of mastic. It gives a regular pudding an extraordinary flavor.

Serves 4.

Ingredients:
  • 3 tbsp of unsalted butter
  • 3 tbsp of all purpose flour
  • 3 pieces of mastic gum
  • 6 tbsp of granulated sugar
  • 3 cups of milk

In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add flour and stir until the flour gives its raw smell. Take the pot away from the heat. Add first cup of milk and whisk it consistently until smooth. Move the pot over the heat again and add the other two cups of milk, sugar and mastic gum. Mix it with a whisk and turn the heat up to high. Keep mixing until it starts to bubble and becomes ticker.Turn the heat off. Apportion the pudding into four bowls.

  3. This one looks like an incredibly delicious and simply dessert! But I was wondering, what the mastic gum is? Is there any substitutions for that?

  4. Hi Chocolaty Lifestyle,
    I am sorry but there is no substitution for the mastic gum as far as I know. Here are some information about it:

  12. Sakızın en çok yakıştığı tatlı. Çikolata, hatta irmik helvası bile yaptım damla sakızlı ama bu bir başka. Enfes.
    Sunum da çok güzel olmuş, ellwerinize sağlık.
