In reply to Judy. Hello Judy. Yes the quicking makes the balls softer as light as air. It is also a safe gaurd step. When some people make the recipe for the first time, they sometimes mess up and simply soaking the balls doesnt allow the syrup to penetrate the balls entirely, result in a hard centre. This extra step ensure that even novices can try the recipe and expect perfect results.

Hi, I would like to make these and have been looking at recipes. The other recipes say to soaked the balls in the sugar syrup but in your recipe the balls are actually cooked further in the syrup after they have cooked in the oil. Does the further cooking in the syrup make much difference to just soaking them? Thanks for your advice. Judy

In reply to Mohsina. Hey there, the rough estimate for 1 cup is 250 gm but they dont tell you that different substances have different weights. For example if you take one cup of rocks, you will probably end up with 400 gms or even more. Similarly, one cup of feathers will weigh way less. I hope the analogy makes sense. the 1 cup = 250 gm is a rough estimate but changes with different ingredients. Milk powder is denser and so 1 cup only holds upto 100 gms of it. Let me know if you have any confusions.

One question, the recipe says one cup (100 gm) milk powder. one measuring cup is typically 250 gm. can you clarify which one it is? thank you!
