Roast rice flour/ground rice over low heat until fragrant and slightly browned (optional).

Leave to cool.

Melt butter/ghee in a pan, add sugar, vanilla and milk. Stir well.

When the milk is hot (not boiling) add the flour gradually and stir continuously until mixture forms a soft dough.

When the dough has absorbed all moisture and no longer sticks to the pan remove from heat and let cool for 2-3 mins.

Oil your hands a little(this is optional, only do this if mixture sticks to your hands) take a piece of dough and roll between your palms to shape it into balls.
Alternately you can use a tablespoon to measure the dough, roll between your palms and make same size balls.

Now roll the balls into the dessicated coconut and then it's done.

Enjoy with a nice cup of tea! 😋😋
