Polvoróns

Polvoróns for you?  Not from Goldilocks though ;-)

Aunty Yochana posted this recipe and it was on my To-Do list for the longest time.  I finally found time to make it last week.  The plus point about this recipe is, no baking needed and it is so simple!  All you need is a pan/wok to cook the flour (I cooked mine in the microwave though).

With no baking/cooking, I was skeptical if I could still taste the sugar in bits so I replaced it with icing sugar (reduced amount).  My children do not drink any formula milk and DD3 is still on the best milk in the world, thus I substituted milk powder with Horlicks.

I started off with my disney cookie cutter but I find it rather time consuming so I switched and use my pineapple tart mould instead.  I did this in a hurry as it was about time to fetch DS2 from school and that explains the rough edges :P

All the children in the family love this, including my niece and nephew, but not for me :P  Will I make this again?  Only if the kids ask for it.

Polvoróns

Ingredients

1 cup Plain flour
1/2 cup Milk Powder (I used Horlicks)
85g butter, melted
25g icing sugar

Method

1. Pour plain flour into a microwaveable plate/container.  Set to low heat (I used 30%) and cook for 5 - 6 minutes (stirring 2 - 3 times in between) till flour turns light brown and cooked.  Sieve flour into a mixing and let it cool.
2. Mix in the rest of the ingredients and mix thoroughly.
3. Press into a polvoron plunger and push it out.  If you do not have a plunger, a small cake ring/cookie cutter/tart mould work as well.
4. Chill it till harden before wrapping.
5. Leave at room temperature before serving.
