If some are slightly stuck, just use a spatula. If you prefer to grease it, apply only a very thin layer of oil.
2 - Temperature and baking time may vary depending on your oven.
3 - To make it easier, wash your hands to remove any excess dough before rolling the balls; this prevents the dough from sticking to your palms.
4 - Do not overheat the milk, as besides making the mixing difficult, it can form lumps in the dough.
