Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Filipino Polvoron Treats.
Step 1
Begin by heating a nonstick skillet over medium heat and toasting the all-purpose flour.
Step 2
Stir continuously to avoid burning, watching for it to turn a lovely light brown, which should take around five minutes.
Step 3
Once toasted, take it off the heat and allow it to cool for at least fifteen minutes.
Step 4
While the flour cools, prepare your workspace by cutting waxed paper into twenty 4-inch squares, perfect for wrapping your delicious polvoron.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled toasted flour with melted butter, white sugar, powdered milk, and a splash of lemon extract.
Step 6
Mix thoroughly until the ingredients meld into a dough-like consistency.
Step 7
Next, take a polvoron mold and pack it tightly with a portion of the mixture.
Step 8
Firmly press the plunger to release the polvoron onto a square of waxed paper.
Step 9
Wrap the polvoron by twisting the ends of the paper to secure it, and continue this delightful process until all the mixture is transformed into beautifully wrapped treats.
Step 10
Enjoy the sweet aroma and the satisfaction of creating these traditional delights!.
