Instructions

1. Make the Caramel Filling

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with sugar until slightly golden.
Add milk and condensed milk, stirring constantly.
Cook the mixture until thickened and creamy, forming a smooth caramel.
Let cool slightly before using.

2. Prepare the Pastel Noodles (Straws)

Cut the prepared pastry into strips or desired shapes.
Spoon a small amount of caramel onto each piece and roll or shape as desired.
Seal the edges with a dab of water to prevent leaking.

3. Fry Until Golden

Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully fry the filled pastries until golden and crisp (about 1–2 minutes per side).
Remove and drain on paper towels.

4. Serve & Enjoy!

Serve warm with extra caramel drizzle or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra sweetness!

Notes

Add a pinch of salt to the caramel for a salted caramel version.
You can also bake instead of fry for a lighter option.
Works well with fruit fillings too, like banana or apple slices.
