Wrapping them in delicate papel de Japon, in shiny red, blue, yellow, and green cellophane. I remember pressing them into oval shapes using those one-of-a-kind, uniquely Filipino molds. It’s been years since the last time I made polvoron with my mom but the pleasures of making them from scratch remain so vivid to this day. Ube, queso, and cacao are popular variations, too. Filipino favorites like pinipig and cashew nuts are toasted and ground, then added to polvoron for another layer of flavor. The Filipino polvoron is not baked but it is simply toasted flour mixed with powdered milk, sugar, and melted butter, then pressed into round, crumbly morsels. Ingredients: Wheat flour, skimmed milk powder, cane sugar, partially hydrogenated vegetable fat (coconut oil, palm. The dearly loved Filipino treat and popular pasalubong is a version of the Spanish polvoron, which is a crumbly shortbread made of flour, sugar, milk, and nuts. This box of Pinipig polvoron contains 24 pcs. Polvoron comes from the Spanish polvo, which means powder. Who invented pinipig Its something you do not think of until you eat Filipino desserts and starts looking for this. It’s the milky mouthful that I can never get enough of.
If I had a penny for every polvoron I’ve had since I was little I would be a rich man, I kid you not. It feels like only yesterday when I was standing on the tips of my toes on a rocking kitchen stool, holding on to my mom’s shoulders while craning my neck until I get a glimpse of the flour she’s toasting in her deep kawali.
