GULAB JAMUN (Fried Milk balls)

4 c. dry milk powder                    1 1/2 c. whole milk
1 c. Bis-quick mix                      1/2 lb. sugar
1 Tbsp. self-rising flour               5 c. water
2 Tbsp. butter or Crisco                1 tsp. rosewater
1 Tbsp. buttermilk                      oil (for deep frying)

Combine milk powder, Bis-quick mix, self-rising flour with buttermilk, butter and milk and make into a smooth dough. Make dough into small balls (about the size of a small lime). Combine sugar and water and make it into a thin syrup by heating over medium heat for 8 minutes. Let it cool and add rosewater to the syrup. Deep fry the balls in oil over low heat. Take them out when golden brown with a slotted spoon and drain oil in paper towels. Drop balls in the syrup. Makes about 65-70 balls. Can be served hot or cold. Serve balls with syrup after they have been soaked at least 1 hour.
