Pastillas de Leche

Make this milky treat at home with the kiddos. It's so simple, it takes just four ingredients to make!

Makes about 20 pastillas

1 1/2 cups fresh or evaporated milk
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon butter
5 tablespoons full-cream powdered milk
sugar for rolling

1  Combine milk and sugar in a saucepan; bring to a boil and stir constantly until it turns into a paste. Add butter and powdered milk. Mix thoroughly.

2  Take the pan off the heat and transfer mixture to a separate bowl. Set aside until pastillas are cool enough to touch but still warm. Divide pastillas into 20 pieces and roll into small cylinders.

3  Roll lightly in sugar. Wrap in paper by placing in the center of a square, rolling it into a cylinder, and tucking the ends into the roll.
