miltinis

Miltinis is a traditional Lithuanian dessert made from milk and flour. It is a simple, creamy pudding-like dish that is typically served cold. The preparation involves simmering milk with flour until it thickens, often with a touch of sugar or vanilla for sweetness and flavor. The consistency can range from a thick, spoonable pudding to a more liquid, drinkable form depending on the proportions of milk and flour used.

Historically, miltinis was a common household dessert in Lithuania, especially in rural areas, due to the availability of its main ingredients. It was often prepared as a nourishing and comforting meal. Variations of miltinis exist across the Baltic region and other parts of Eastern Europe, sometimes incorporating different grains or flavorings. While it may not be as widely known internationally as some other desserts, miltinis remains a staple in Lithuanian cuisine, enjoyed for its simplicity and wholesome character. It can be served plain or garnished with berries, fruit compote, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
