I remember being just 3 feet tall at my aunt Marissa's home in San Jose sitting on the bar stool making polvoron and eating it faster than it can be wrapped. Polvoron is a toasty filipino candy. It's slightly savory with a very delicate powdery texture.

Ingredients: 

3 Cups flour
3 Cups powdered milk
1.5 Cups sugar
1.5 Cups butter

 

 

1. Melt Butter Sample Image 
2.  Toast flour over medium high heat until it forms a nutty aroma. Stir frequently. Becareful not to burn the flour. Sample Image 
3.
Combine the flour, sugar, powdered milk and butter. It's easier to do this with your hands. Sample Image 
4.
Use a polvoron mold to form. A tablespoon may be used if you don't have a mold. A mold can be had for about $8 and can be found by a quick search on google.  Sample Image
5.
Line up the polvoron and place in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up. Chilling will make it easier to wrap.

6.
Wrap the polvoron in a 5x7 piece of tissue wrapping paper. Amazingly, I found this tissue wrapping paper next to the paper plates at Safeway.
