Polvoron

The Filipino POLVORON is different from the original Polvoron in Spain (baked shortbread). It is like a powdered candy with a combination of toasted flour, milk, butter and sugar. Other ingredients may be added for flavoring like pinipig, peanuts, chocolates and more. This recipe is just the plain Polvoron. You may need a Polvoron molder which comes in different shapes. After molding, wrap it with a Japanese paper or a colored plastic cellophane. I will include this in my Christmas Recipe list and use colorful wraps.

You will need:

4 cups flour

2 cups powdered milk

1 cup butter, softened

1½ cup granulated sugar

Steps:

Toast the flour on a cooking pan until the color turns light brown. 

Stir while toasting to prevent from getting burnt. 

Remove it and transfer to a mixing bowl. Let it cool.

Add powdered milk  to the flour and stir using a wire whisk.

Add sugar and continue whisking. Add the butter and mix well.

When its well-combined, Let it stand for 10 minutes before molding it.

Use a polvoron molder and place it on a pre-cut wrapper.

You can use Japanese paper or cellophone.
