Milk Burfi / Burfee is a very simple recipe that requires only a few ingredients. When it comes to making sweets, I am still a student. I never get consistent results with sweets, especially this one. I’m always nervous about removing sweets from the flame at the right time or using the right consistency of sugar syrup.
Every time I make sweets, I eagerly await the end result. Even my son asks me why we can’t buy from the store and why you’re so stressed out about the blog. To be honest, when things go well and you get compliments on them, you feel like you accomplished something. Having said that, I’d like to share a simple sweet with milk powder – milk powder burfi – with you today.
