  • In a kadai, add 1/2 cup of sugar & 1/4 cup of water. Add 2 pinches of food color and vanilla essence. Mix well and melt the sugar.
  • Boil till one string consistency.When you take the syrup and slide between your thumb and fore finger, it forms a single string.

  • Lower the flame completely and add the maida+milk powder. Mix well till it gets blended with sugar syrup. SWITCH OFF THE FIRE and remove the kadai. Stir the mixture really well for few minutes. It will start to thicken and leave the sides of pan. At that time, remove the mixture to a greased burfi tray. I transferred them to a tray lined with butter paper.So I did not use ghee at all.  Level the mixture with the base of a bowl. Mark shapes once it turns warm. Serve & enjoy ! This burfi stays well for a week if stored in an air tight box. maida burfi tile3 maida burfi tile4

POINTS TO NOTE

  1. Do not mix the burfi mixture for long time after it starts to thicken. It will become crumbly.So remove it at the correct time.
  2. As we are using milk powder, it is not necessary to roast the maida in ghee. If you are using maida alone, then you have to roast the maida in half the quantity of ghee.


Melt in mouth burfi is ready !!
Once again thank u all for ur support and encouragement:) Have a happy diwali :)

Congratulations on your first blog award! The ingredients of this sweet remind me of a Filipino candy called polvoron which also uses milk powder, flour and sugar (although it definitely has butter).
