In a large mixing bowl, combine the powdered milk and sweetened condensed milk.
Mix the ingredients together with a spatula or clean hands until a smooth and pliable dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky; if it’s too sticky, add a tablespoon of powdered milk at a time until the consistency is right.
Lightly dust your hands with powdered milk and pinch off a small portion of dough, about 1 tablespoon. Roll it between your palms to form a small log or cylinder shape, about 2 inches long and 1/2 inch in diameter.
Repeat with the remaining dough until all pieces are formed. Place the finished shapes on a clean plate or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Pour the granulated sugar onto a shallow plate. Gently roll each pastilla in the sugar until fully coated.
Optional: Wrap each piece in small squares of colored cellophane or wax paper for a traditional presentation.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
