Once the syrup is done you get a single string consistency or you can check by dipping your spoon into the mixture and pull it off, if the mixture drips off in a stream then it's ready . 

Method for making pancakes: Boil milk in a heavy bottomed pan on low heat, till it becomes 1/2 litre, then set aside to cool. Mix sooji, maida, 1tsp sugar, fennel seeds into milk and let it sit for 2-3 hours. Heat ghee/oil in a frying pan, carefully spread 1 tbsp of maida-sooji batter in a disc shape, cook both sides till golden brown. Dip the fried pancakes into the sugar syrup for about 5 minutes and lay out on a plate. The puas now become Malpua!! Similarly prepare more malpuas with the remaining batter.
