Serves: 12 pieces
Ingredients
  • Milk: 6 cups
  • Vinegar: 6 tsp
  • Bay leaf: 1
  • Cardamom powder: 1 tsp
  • Sugar: ½ cup
  • Butter or clarified butter: 3 tbsp
  • Milk powder: 4 tbsp
Method
  1. Heat milk in a heavy saucepan and once it comes to a boil, add vinegar or lemon juice. Gently stir the milk so that the whey separates.
  2. Take out 3½ cups of whey water from the pan and keep aside. You can use this water to knead roti or paratha dough.
  3. Keep stirring the remaining milk solids and whey for 15-20 minutes in the same saucepan till the mixture starts to thicken. Add bay leaves and sugar. Continue to stir till the sugar mixes properly.
  4. Now add the butter, milk powder and cardamom powder. Once the mixture is thick enough and starts looking a little brown, pour it on a flat plate. Shape it into ¾th inch-high square and let it cool and set for at least 2 hours
  5. Once the mixture solidifies, cut it into rectangles. Serve the milk cake pieces at room temperature.
