Wheat starch pudding is a chilled milk dessert thickened with wheat starch, usually sweetened with sugar. It has a smooth, delicate texture and is commonly served in individual bowls, sometimes topped with cinnamon, fruit or nuts.
To make wheat starch pudding, whisk the starch into a little cold milk until smooth, then combine it with the remaining milk and sugar. Cook while stirring until thickened, pour into serving dishes and chill.
Wheat starch pudding turns lumpy when starch is added straight to hot milk or is not mixed thoroughly before cooking. First dissolve it in cold milk, then stir continuously as the pudding heats and thickens.
Wheat starch pudding and cornstarch pudding are both milk-based desserts, but wheat starch can give the pudding a slightly different, often more elastic texture. They are not always interchangeable in equal amounts, so expect the consistency to change if you substitute one for the other.
You can thicken runny wheat starch pudding by dissolving a little more wheat starch in cold milk, stirring it into the pudding and cooking it again until thick. Avoid adding dry starch directly, since it can form lumps.
Wheat starch pudding generally keeps for 2–3 days in the refrigerator when stored covered. Press wrap against the surface to limit a skin forming, and refrigerate it rather than leaving the milk-based dessert at room temperature.
Freezing wheat starch pudding is not recommended because thawing can make it watery or grainy. For the smoothest texture, chill it in the refrigerator and eat it fresh rather than freezing leftovers.
Yes, wheat starch pudding can be browned under a grill if it is made in oven-safe dishes. Place the dishes near the heat and watch closely, since the surface can brown quickly; serve once it has cooled enough to handle.
Cinnamon is a classic topping for wheat starch pudding, while chopped fruit, hazelnuts or walnuts add freshness or crunch. Add toppings just before serving so fruit does not release excess liquid and nuts stay crisp.
Wheat starch pudding can raise blood sugar because it contains starch, and added sugar can increase the effect. If you have diabetes, choose a portion and recipe that fit your individual meal plan; a dietitian can help tailor it.

Wheat starch pudding is a simple Turkish milk pudding made by cooking wheat starch, milk and sugar until thick. It sets into a smooth, tender dessert with a mild milky sweetness, usually served chilled in small bowls. In Turkey, it may be finished with a dusting of cinnamon or served with fruit, and makes an easy offering for tea-time or a family meal.
Its nutritional character is mainly that of a starch-based sweet, with a little protein from the milk; it provides 118 calories per 100 g. For a lighter version, use less sugar and keep the serving modest, or pair it with fresh fruit for a less rich finish.
