It's simple, sweet and tastes like home 🏡

TRADITIONAL SOUTH AFRICAN MELKKOS

Ingredients:
• 2 C First Choice Full Cream Milk
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1/2 C cake flour
• 1.5 Tbsp First Choice Cold Butter (plus extra for serving)
• 1/4 tsp salt

For the Cinnamon Sugar:
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Directions:
1. Pour the milk and the cinnamon stick into a saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to ensure the milk doesn't burn.
2. While the milk heats, combine the flour and salt in a bowl. Rub the cold butter into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
3. Once the milk boils, reduce the heat to low. Remove the cinnamon stick (or leave it in for a deeper flavour). Slowly sprinkle the flour-butter crumbs into the milk, whisking constantly to avoid large, raw lumps.
4. Continue stirring with a whisk or wooden spoon for about 10 minutes. The mixture should thicken into a soft, creamy custard-like consistency. Ensure the flour is completely cooked through.
5. Ladle into warm bowls.
6. Top with a generous sprinkle of cinnamon sugar and an extra k**b of butter to melt over the top.

Enjoy!

A little bit of buttery, golden goodness to brighten up your day ☀️

GOLDEN GLAZE BUTTER PUFFS

Ingredients:

Sauce:
* ¾ C brown sugar
* ⅓ C golden syrup
* 50g First Choice Butter
* 2 C water

Butter Puffs:
1½ C self-raising flour
¾ C First Choice Milk
50g First Choice Butter, melted
1 Tbsp golden syrup

Directions:
1. In a large pot, combine the brown sugar, golden syrup, butter and water. Place over medium heat and stir until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves.
2. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. You want it bubbling steadily, like a caramel hot spring.
3 In a bowl, combine the self-raising flour, milk, melted butter and golden syrup. Mix gently until a soft dough forms. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
4. Scoop spoonfuls of the dough and carefully drop them into the simmering sauce.
5. As the dough cooks, gently spoon the sauce over the tops so they stay beautifully saucy. Cover with a lid and allow to simmer on low heat for about 15 to 20 minutes.
6. The dough will puff up and become fluffy while soaking up that golden syrup sauce.

Tip: Do not lift the lid too often. Let the steam do its work.

Serve & Enjoy!
