Polvoron

Polvoron is a semi-sweet concoction made of toasted flour, powdered milk, sugar, and butter. This is considered as a dessert or snack in the Philippines wherein roasted rice puffs referred to locally as “pinipig” is added.

Polvoron

There are several polvoron recipes available today. There are the cookies and cream polvoron, peanut polvoron, chocolate polvoron, and many more. The polvoron recipe that we have here is the classic and simplest.

I tend to associate this snack with town fiestas. When I was still a child, I always join contests during our town’s fiesta and one of them is some sort of a whistling contest wherein you are asked to consume a piece of polvoron or puto seco before whistling; the first one who can make a sound wins.

Polvoron 2

I haven’t made polvoron in years since I don’t have any available mold. Good thing one of my friends was able to get me one when she went for a vacation in the Philippines. By the way, I made more or less 60 pieces of polvoron out of the ingredients that we have.

Recipe: Polvoron

Ingredients

  • 4 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 cups powdered milk
  • 3/4 cup pinipig, crushed
  • 1 1/8 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Cooking Procedure

  1. Heat a frying pan or a wok then put-in the flour. Toast the flour until you smell the aroma and the color turns light brown. Make sure to stir while toasting to prevent the flour from being burnt.
  2. Once the flour is toasted, let it cool down for about 20 minutes then transfer to a mixing bowl.
  3. Add the powdered milk then stir using a balloon whisk.
  4. Put-in the granulated sugar then stir again.
  5. Add-in the crushed pinipig then stir until very ingredient is well distributed.
  6. Pour-in the softened butter and mix well. You may use your clean hands in doing the procedure. After mixing, let it stand for at least 10 minutes to allow the butter to cool. This will make the mixture more intact.
  7. Using a polvoron molder, scoop the mixture and put it on top of a pre-cut Japanese paper or cellophane then wrap.
  8. Serve. Share and enjoy!

  7. alma says:

    hello po!!!musta na po kayo?ask ko lang ano po ba brand ng powdered milk gamit nyo?at saan po nyo nabili ang inyong hulmahan ng polvoron po?thanks.god bless po!!!

  8. yanzy says:

    hello, kuya, regarding sa polvoron na recipe mo, butter can i used margarine butter,kase sa demo clips nyo po parang watery siya ang butter margarine ko eh soft siya pwede bayun siya to be used as butter ? thank you

    • yes yanzy, try melting the margarine before using.

      • sheryl says:

        anu po ung butter softened?at un po bang powdered milk ay skinned milk..?at ung po bang butter eh ung margarine taz tutunawin?pakisagot lang po plsssssss ty..

      • Sheryl, ang softened butter ay ordinary butter na pinalambot. Kapag galing sa refrigerator and butter, matigas ang texture nito kaya kailangan mo munang hayaan na lumambot ng kusa bago ito gamitin. Butter is different from margarine. Regarding sa milk, you may use any full cream powdered milk or even skimmed milk if you want.

        Sana nasagot ko ang tanong mo. Let me know if you still have some clarifications.
