Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Powdered milk
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Salted butter
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter (creamy or chunky, depending on preference)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 set Polvoron molds or food-grade cookie molds
- 20 sheets Wax paper or cellophane wrappers
Instructions
Place a dry nonstick skillet or pan over medium-low heat. Toast the all-purpose flour by continuously stirring it with a wooden spoon or spatula, ensuring it doesn’t burn. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until it turns light golden brown and emits a nutty aroma.
Once toasted, transfer the flour to a large mixing bowl and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
Add the powdered milk and granulated sugar to the bowl with the toasted flour. Mix well until the dry ingredients are evenly combined.
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the salted butter in the microwave until fully liquified (about 20-30 seconds). Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
Pour the butter-peanut butter mixture into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or clean hands, mix everything thoroughly until the mixture resembles damp sand and sticks together when pressed.
Pack the mixture tightly into polvoron molds or food-grade cookie molds. Use the palm of your hand or a flat surface to press down and compact the mixture. Carefully release the molded pieces by tapping lightly or pressing the mold’s release function.
Place the molded polvoron on a clean tray or plate. Repeat the process with the rest of the mixture until all of it is used.
If desired, wrap each polvoron individually in wax paper or cellophane to keep them fresh and make them easier to serve. Twist the edges of the wrappers to secure.
Refrigerate the polvoron for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving. Enjoy your homemade Peanut Butter Polvoron!
