Polvoron

Polvoron is another Goldilocks best seller which is a mixture of flour and powdered milk. My kids enjoy it as one of pasalubong. Others even used this as props for the Polvoron whistling game in a party.

Polvoron

About two weeks ago, my friend Rose asked me if I know how to make Polvoron. I remember one of my side lines in high school was to sell Polvoron to my classmates. One of my cousins used to prepare and asked me to sell to my friends. There were some times that I help her prepare too so we can produce more. Then obviously I stopped selling J

So back to Rose, she told me it will be used for one of the games. Since after several years, this is my chance again to prepare, I recalled the taste I’ve always enjoyed and search the net for the recipe. There are different combinations available online but this is the texture I want, that you may also want to taste.

What you need:

 mixing bowl

 crepe paper (plastic wrapper or Japanese paper are not available here)

 molder

 strainer

whisk

Ingredients:

- 2 cups all purpose flour

- 1 cup powdered milk

- 1 cup sugar

- ¾ cups butter

- Any flavor of your choice (1 cup of either peanut, oreo biscuit, or cashew)

Procedure:

-   On a pan, toast all purpose flour until golden brown

-  Remove from heat, cool down for some minutes

-  Melt the butter, use the oven if needed

- At this point, make sure that you will use a strainer to all the powdered ingredients before you put and combine them in the mixing bowl. This will help break the lumps and will make your Polvoron’s texture really fine.

-  Put the toasted flour to the mixing bowl

-  Add powdered milk and sugar

-  Using a whisk, stir well the powdered ingredients until fully combined

-  You may add your desired flavors at this point

-  Pour in the melted butter

-  At this point, use your hand to mix thoroughly

-  Set aside for 10 minutes so the butter will be absorbed by the powdered ingredients

-  Using the molder, press and hold the Polvoron mixture until it is well compressed

-  Release it on crepe paper (or Japanese paper or plastic wrapper)

-  Wrap like a candy

-  Repeat molding and wrapping until you finished all

- Enjoy eating :)
