Muhallabia — very easy and, of course, delicious

Ingredients:

5 cups water 2 cups powdered milk 1/2 cup cornstarch 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 tablespoons butter A splash of orange blossom water 2 cups sugar — optional Syrup (qater or shireh) for serving Nuts for garnish

Method:

First, mix the powdered milk and cornstarch with a little cold water and stir quickly so they dissolve — this prevents lumps when you add the rest of the water.
Add the remaining water, then place the muhallabia mixture on the stove and stir continuously.
When the mixture heats up and becomes thick, add the butter, vanilla and orange blossom water. Stir until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth, then remove from the heat.
Pour the muhallabia into glasses or cups.
When cooled, garnish with nuts and serve with syrup.

Note: You can add the sugar to the mixture while cooking instead of serving with syrup.
