Notes
You can use a range of 2-4 tbsp of sugar, depending on how sweet you want the balls to be.
Pasteurized eggs are found in a tetra pac carton and are necessary to reduce the risk of food borne illness.
Consuming raw flour has a higher risk of food borne illness. If you want to make your flour extra safe, you can place it in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute.
