When I was a little girl there are only two things that rocks my world: SAMAPALOC (TAMARIND -- the super sour one) and POLVORON!
One of the famous bakeshops here in the Philippines are making one of the best polvoron I have ever tasted! Promise, you will forget your name once you've tried it!
last Sunday, I made a very delicious polvoron -- according to those who have tasted it. :) here are my ingredients and procedure-- I just estimated though. :)
Flour
Skimmed Milk (If you are diet conscious person, if not go to a full milk pref. ALASKA powdered milk or NIDO)
Sugar
Margarine (not butter. According to my mother, margarine won't make your polvoron hold itself.)
Oreo Cookies or Pinipig (Optional. If you just want some flavors)
Molder
Papel de hapon /cellophane (for wrapping)
Procedure:
1. Toast the flour in a not-flat pan. Do not burn the flour! Just toast it. How would you know if it is toasted? if it is brown in color. You can taste it. If it tastes like flour then keep on cooking. If it tastes cooked then stop. Don't you worry you would know the taste of an uncooked flour-- if it tastes.. FLOUR!
2. Then add all the dry ingredients. Mix them altogther
3. Then Add the Margarine. Should it me melted or not? It depends on your flour mixture. if the flour is still hot, then the margarine can melt itself. however if it is almost at room temperature, then it is time to melt the margarine. Don't worry nothing will happen if you will melt or not the margarine.
4. Then mold your polvorone. Put it in a cellophane and serve!
Simple isn't? try it at home and enjoy!
