Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Powdered milk
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Optional: crushed cookies, nuts, or rice puffs
- 1 piece Polvoron mold or cookie cutter
- 1 pack Colored cellophane or Japanese paper (for wrapping, optional)
Instructions
In a dry pan over low heat, toast the all-purpose flour while stirring continuously. Cook for about 8-10 minutes or until the flour turns light golden brown and develops a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn it.
Remove the toasted flour from the heat and transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Let it cool for a few minutes.
Once the toasted flour has cooled, add the powdered milk and granulated sugar. Mix well until the dry ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan or microwave. Gradually pour the melted butter into the dry mixture while stirring. Mix until the mixture is evenly moistened and has a crumbly yet compact texture.
If desired, mix in crushed cookies, nuts, or rice puffs for additional flavor and crunch.
Using a polvoron mold or cookie cutter, press the mixture firmly into the mold to form compact discs or shapes. Gently release the polvoron and place it on a tray or parchment paper. Repeat until all of the mixture is used.
If desired, wrap each polvoron in colored cellophane or Japanese paper for storage or gifting.
Chill the polvoron in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
