Maida Milk Powder Burfi Recipe (Easy Maida Burfi)
Learn how to make easy melt-in-the-mouth maida milk powder burfi with just 3 main ingredients and no ghee. Quick foolproof sweet for Diwali!
Servings: 10 Pieces
Ingredients
- ¼ cup All purpose flour / Maida (approx. 35 g / 1.2 oz)
- ¼ cup Milk powder (approx. 30 g / 1 oz, Amul or any dairy milk powder)
- ½ cup Sugar (approx. 100 g / 3.5 oz)
- ¼ cup Water (approx. 60 ml / 2 fl oz)
- ½ tsp Cardamom powder or vanilla essence
- 2 pinches Orange food color (optional)
- few drops Ghee (to grease the plate or tray)
Instructions
- In a wide bowl, take the maida and milk powder, sieve & mix well.
- 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 forefinger, 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 or a tray lined with butter paper. Level the mixture with the base of a bowl. Mark shapes once it turns warm.
- Let it cool completely, remove pieces and store in an airtight container. This burfi stays well for a week.
Notes
- 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.
- 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.
- Line the tray with parchment/butter paper to remove pieces effortlessly without needing ghee.
