- Take the grapes off the stems; wash them and dry them well, or leave them out to dry.
- Put the condensed milk and the melted butter on a medium pot, at low heat.
- With a wooden spoon, swirl the batter non-stop.This is particularly important when it starts to bubble.
- Make sure it never reaches a boil; you should only see a few bubbles, so keep the heat low.
- The batter is ready when you tilt the pan and the dough separates from the bottom.
- This process may take 20-30 minutes.
- Pour the batter on a well-buttered, large glass pyrex, and let it cool for a few hours.
Assembly:
- Pour a thick layer of granulated sugar in a wide container.
- Open your paper baking cups and lay them out on the counter.
- Grab a teaspoon and a fork.
- Butter your hands well.
- With the teaspoon, take a small portion of dough (the size of half a grape) and place it on the palm of your hand.
- Place a grape on top of the dough and squish it; roll the dough around the grape.
- Once the grape is covered, place the treat on the sugar.
- You will be able to roll about 4 treats before they start sticking to your hands. To avoid the grapes from sticking, check your hands after you roll each grape; if you see any piece of dough on them, scrape it off and apply more butter.
- If you get a grape stuck, it's time to wash your hands completely and butter them again.
- Keep placing the treats on the sugar, leaving the space of about a grape in between.
- Repeat this process until you can't fit any more grapes on the sugar.
- Using the fork, roll the treats on the sugar until they are completely covered.
- Move the sugary treats to a platter or to the paper cups.
Enjoy!!!
