Steps:
- In a deep skillet, pour fresh milk. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Let it simmer for 15 minutes while stirring regularly.
- Add sugar and stir until completely dissolved. Stir the mixture gently and constantly with a wooden spoon scraping the bottom to prevent lumps from forming and burning.
- Continue to cook until mixture is greatly reduced and forms a thick paste. Turn off the heat and add the butter and mix. (Remove skillet from stove)
- Add the powdered milk to the mixture and mix until a sticky dough forms. Transfer milk dough to a plate or bowl and let it cool down completely.
- Roll the milk dough into a cylinder and cut into four equal portions. Take a portion and roll it into a thinner log. Then cut the log into 10 equal pieces. Roll each piece to about 1 ½-inch long.
- Roll each piece in caster sugar coating it completely.
- Wrap a small white paper around a piece of pastillas placing it in the middle, with both ends open. Then wrap both in a tissue paper. Push the excess tissue paper at the ends inwards to close the holes.

PASTILLAS DE LECHE
Found this recipe on PanlasangPinoy.com a great site for Filippino recipes. These are little milk candies shaped into little cylinders, traditionally made with water buffalo milk and wrapped in celophane. This recipe is nicely adapted for those who don't have access to a water buffalo! It uses powdered milk instead. Simple! Can't wait to try these! Note: I can't tell how many the recipe makes, it says it serves 4. I recommend looking at the blog to see what the candy should look like!
