Melkkos
A nostalgic South African heritage dessert of buttery, tender dough frummels simmered in creamy warm milk, dusted with sweet cinnamon sugar.
Flour, cold cubed butter, baking powder and a dash of salt are rubbed into delicate dough crumbs (frummels) that thicken full cream milk into a silky, fragrant pudding. Dusted generously with melting cinnamon sugar, it is proper heritage comfort in a bowl.
