Tips for the perfect texture
Food and Lifestyle Content Creator Priyanka Govender-Chanderdeo (@inspiredbyprisfood) shared with Briefly.co.za tips for achieving the perfect texture in burfee, ensuring it sets well without being too firm or too soft.
Priyanka notes that making burfee with top-notch ingredients can get pricey, but since it’s not an everyday treat, investing in quality pays off. To perfect Burfee, she suggests using premium milk powder, cardamom, cream and butter.
For that ideal texture, I go the extra mile by blitzing and double-sieving my milk powder, turning it into a fine powder. Yes, it’s time-consuming, but this step ensures an ultra-smooth, creamy, and grain-free Burfee.
The food content creator also highlights that the smallest details can make the biggest difference, so "exercise patience".
Setting the Burfee overnight enhances its texture. Remember, good things take time, and the result will be fantastic.
