## Key Ingredients
* **Milk**: Full cream milk is best for richness and depth.
* **Flour**: All-purpose flour adds body and texture.
* **Butter**: Adds luxurious creaminess and flavor.
* **Sugar**: Just enough for a gentle sweetness.
* **Cinnamon sugar**: The finishing touch—fragrant, warming, and essential.
Some modern variations also include a pinch of salt, a splash of vanilla extract, or even a cinnamon stick simmered in the milk for extra depth.
## How to Make Creamy Melkkos
Making Melkkos is easy, but it requires patience and care. Here’s a general process:
1. **Create a flour-butter mixture**: Rub the flour and butter together until crumbly (or make a soft dough if using the ribbon method).
2. **Heat the milk**: Gently bring the milk to a simmer in a pot—don’t let it boil.
3. **Add the flour mixture**: Stir continuously to prevent lumps and ensure even thickening.
4. **Simmer slowly**: Let it cook gently until the texture is silky and comforting.
5. **Serve warm**: Sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar and serve immediately.
Pro tip: Melkkos thickens as it cools, so serve it fresh off the stove for the ultimate creamy experience.
## Serving Suggestions
* Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and a pat of butter on top.
* Serve with a drizzle of honey or condensed milk for extra sweetness.
* Pair with warm bread or rusk for dipping.
