INFO & TIPS

This recipe was obtained from the internet https://yumlish.wordpress.com/2013/08/14/soji-an-indian-dessert/ )
and originally included the addition of a few drops of yellow food colouring in the liquid/milk mixture which I've omitted as it contains tartrazine however
its the only health conscious bit of this delicious,moreish why -wait-for-an-Indian wedding soji.

I use Woolworths butter and free range eggs at room temperature.

Be sure to stir constantly!

Tastes even better the next day so its perfect for prepare -ahead entertaining.
