Maylene’s griddle scones

1. Bring the milk, dessert cream, condensed milk and cinnamon stick to a simmer in a saucepan and stir to prevent it from sticking to the base. While the milk is cooking, prepare the balls.
2. To make the balls, combine the ingredients in a bowl. If the dough is sticky, do not add any extra KLIM, but keep mixing until a semi-sticky dough is formed. Divide the dough into 20 balls (about the size of a R5 coin).
3. Reduce the heat of the milk and gently place the balls in the milk – I find doing this one by one makes for less breakage. Cook in the spiced milk until quadrupled in size. Halfway through, gently turn them over with a slotted spoon.
4. Top with the almonds, pistachios, ground cardamom and saffron. Chill and serve 2–3 balls with some of the milky sauce.
