Polvoron Recipe

The Polvoron Recipe is a candy recipe that is very popular here in the Philippines. It is so popular that even Goldilocks listed Polvoron as one of their top-selling products! The Polvoron is a sweet, powdered milk candy made of butter, milk, sugar, and flour. It is so easy to prepare and is usually eaten after meals (as a dessert) or as a snack. In case you have forgotten what this famous Filipino delicacy looks like, here it is.

The Polvoron comes in many flavors and colors. A few years ago, there was only the milk and pinipig flavor. Now, you have a variety of Polvoron Recipes like the Chocolate, Ube, and Vanilla Polvoron. You also have the coated and non-coated ones. The Polvoron is also my excellent choice for “pasalubongs” to families and friends. For this Polvoron Recipe, I will be guiding you how to make your own special, home-made, milk-flavored Polvoron. Here are the things you will need: a polvoron molder, a frying pan, some cellophane or Japanese paper, milk, butter, sugar, and some all-purpose flour.

How To Make Polvoron

Ingredients:

• 4 cups of all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cup melted butter
• 2 cups powdered milk
• 2 cups sugar

Cooking Procedure:

• Heat the frying pan and put-in the flour. Toast the flour for about 15 minutes or until the color turns light brown. Make sure to stir constantly to prevent the flour from burning.
• Transfer the mixture in a big bowl and let cool for about 20 minutes.
• Add the powdered milk then stir for about 3-4 minutes.
• Add the granulated sugar and melted butter and mix well.
• Let the mixture stand for at least 10 more minutes to allow the butter to cool.
• Using a polvoron molder, scoop the mixture and put it on top of a pre-cut Japanese paper or cellophane then wrap.
• Fill the molder with the mixture and press hard with a spoon. If the mixture is still too loose, add more butter. Your polvoron mixture is perfect if it does not crumble when you pick it up with your hands.
• Place in an airtight container and store in a fridge until firm.
• Wrap in Japanese paper or cellophane

Hot Tip:

• If you want to try the pinipig flavor, just add crushed pinipig after adding the sugar and mix well.
