Gamatte Nido

== Ingredients ==
* 2 cups of full cream powdered milk
* 1 tablespoon of baking powder
* 2 eggs, beaten
* about 6 tablespoons of vegetable oil
* 1 cup of sugar
* 1 teaspoon of ground cardamom
* saffron thread or powder
== Directions ==
# Mix the powdered milk with baking powder.
# Then add the eggs and 4 tablespoons of oil.
# Mix well and form into ½ inch balls, by rolling in your hands.
# If the mix becomes too dry to roll, add a little more beaten egg.
# In a pan combine the sugar with 1½ cups of water, the cardamom, and the saffron.
# Boil for 3 – 4 minutes.
# Remove from heat and allow to cool until warm (but no longer hot).
# In a frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-low heat.
# Add half of the balls.
# Cook until the balls are a light brown on all sides.
# Do this by constantly tilted and turning the pan, so the balls continually roll around from one side to another.
# Place the balls in the warm syrup.
# Allow to remain in the syrup for about five minutes or until you have finished frying the second half of the balls.
# Remove from the syrup and drain on kleenex tissue or kitchen paper.
# Cover with another piece of tissue or kitchen paper and allow to sit for at least three hours before serving.
# Enjoy! it is hard to keep your hands off these ones!.
