Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Powdered (icing) sugar
- 6 tablespoons Condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Food coloring (optional)
- 12 pieces String (for tails)
Instructions
Sift the powdered sugar into a large mixing bowl.
Gradually add the granulated sugar to the bowl.
Stir in the condensed milk and vanilla extract, mixing slowly until a stiff dough forms.
If desired, knead in a few drops of food coloring until evenly distributed.
Take small portions of the dough and shape them into oval mouse-like bodies.
Gently insert a piece of string at one end of each mouse to mimic a tail.
Pinch out small shapes at the front of each body to form ears, and use a toothpick to etch eyes or other features.
Place the mice on a parchment-lined tray and allow them to set for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
