- 1 cup non-fat milk powder
- 1/2 cup self-rising flour
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/2 cup milk, or as needed
- Syrup:
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup water
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine milk powder and flour in a bowl. Add butter; beat together until creamy and blended. Add just enough milk to make a firm dough. Shape dough into 18 small balls and arrange on the baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until gulab are lightly browned, 12 to 20 minutes.
- Combine confectioners' sugar, white sugar, and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until sugars dissolve and consistency is syrupy, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Transfer gulab to the saucepan; let soak in the warm syrup, at least 10 minutes. Let cool before serving.
