Rasgoulas - sweet powdered milk balls

Ingredients:
300 grams of powdered milk
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon white flour
1 cup cold water
1 teaspoon cardamon powder
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon natural vanilla essence
Melted butter or ghee for frying

Preparation:
Boil over a medium low heat the cold water, cardamon powder, white sugar and vanilla essence together. Allow to simmer until a thick syrup is obtained. Be careful not to allow the mixture to caramelise. Remove from heat and leave in saucepan.
Mix well together the powdered milk, baking powder and white flour in a separate container.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Pour the melted butter into the powdered milk mixture. Add two tablespoons of cold water to the mixture and work the pastry until a uniform pastry mix is obtained. Divide into rounded balls about 1 inch (25mm) in diameter.
Fry the balls in melted butter (or ghee) over low heat, until golden brown in colour.
Dip into the syrup and remove immediately. Place on a serving plate.
Enjoy.
