Let’s dive into this heartwarming recipe that’s perfect for lovers of homemade sweets and anyone who treasures the art of rustic baking.
Ingredients
- 1 can of sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Optional: Chopped nuts or chocolate chips for added flavor
Instructions
-
Prepare Your Kitchen: Start by creating a warm, inviting atmosphere in your kitchen. Gather your ingredients and set them out neatly. This moment is as much about creating as it is about enjoying.
-
Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and condensed milk. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend these together until smooth and creamy. The blend should have a velvety texture that feels like a warm hug.
-
Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually introduce this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently. This is where the magic begins—you’re creating the foundation of our sweets.
-
Flavor It Up: Add the vanilla extract and, if you desire, fold in the chopped nuts or chocolate chips. These little additions will provide a delightful crunch and richness to your treats.
-
Shape the Sweets: Scoop small portions of the dough and roll them into balls or flatten them into discs, depending on your preference. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, giving them enough space to breathe and grow.
-
Baking Time: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the sweets for about 12-15 minutes, or until they turn a golden brown. As the aroma fills your kitchen, you can almost hear the stories being whispered from generations past.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, let them cool on a wire rack. These treats are best enjoyed fresh but can also be stored in an airtight container to share with loved ones.
