Soft Milk Powder Candy Dough

Directions

1. 1

   Sift the powdered milk and powdered sugar together into a large mixing bowl, whisking to combine evenly and remove any lumps.

2. 2

   Pour the sweetened condensed milk in slowly, a tablespoon at a time, stirring with a spatula between each addition. Stop when the mixture resembles a crumbly but cohesive dough — it should not feel sticky.

3. 3

   Lightly dust your work surface with powdered sugar and knead the dough by hand for 2–3 minutes until smooth and pliable enough to roll out with a rolling pin.

4. 4

   Divide the dough into portions if using multiple colors. Knead a drop of gel food coloring into each portion until the color is uniform throughout.

5. 5

   Shape into small balls, cut with cookie cutters, or press into molds. Allow to rest for 30 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
