Mastic recipe with condensed milk
A glass of milk powder is mixed with powdered sugar in a sufficiently deep container. Condensed milk is gradually added to the mixture, not forgetting to mix the mass with a spoon. The finished mixture should have a uniform consistency. It is laid out on a table previously sprinkled with powdered sugar.
Knead the mastic until the sweet dough stops sticking to your hands. The prepared mastic is divided into several parts and each piece is kneaded with the desired food coloring. If the mastic from condensed milk remains sticky, it must be sprinkled with powdered sugar and again carefully mixed. A properly prepared product becomes elastic, but does not lose its elasticity and softness. The consistency of the mastic should resemble plasticine.
Then the mastic is wrapped in plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator. It can be stored in the cold for several days, the product does not spoil for a long time. To decorate the cake, the mastic is rolled out using a rolling pin and the necessary elements are cut out from the sweet dough, which are then placed on the surface of the confectionery. You can sculpt figures from mastic.
Cake, decorated with figures from sweet dough, it is advisable to cover with a damp napkin before serving, since the mastic dries quickly and loses its amazing taste.
