In a pan boil the milk, to this add the flour in parts and mix well.
I used ballon whisk for this mixing to prevent lump formation and add the butter and mix well.
Let the dough cool , till you can handle the dough.
Knead the dough for five minutes and divide into five equal parts.
Roll a part into round sheet , using a round cookie cutter , cut the rolled dough into round shapes.
Repeat this for the remaining parts of dough.
Stack / arrange 3 round cut parts one on other.
Make four slits from corner half way through of the stacked rounds.
Do the same for the remaining dough too.
Heat oil in a pan, I placed a shaped pitha in a large ladle and dip it in the oil on medium flame.
Fry till golden brown and let it be on kitchen towel to drain extra oil.
Boil the syrup only till all the sugar melts and it starts roll boiling.
Dip the fried gulab pitha in the syrup for 2 minutes and remove.
Serve them hot or cold.
Gulab pitha are ready to be served.
