It's nice to be back after a restful long vacation. I really enjoyed it. And I know I need to do some new posting for this week. So, I decided to share with you an easy sweet treats that you and your kids will love to make.
Here in the Philippines, we called this "polvoron". I learned this recipe from my grandmother when I was a child. She is a great cook of sweets and different Filipino dishes. She used to have a small store (sari-sari store) just in front of her house. Every afternoon, when I came home from school, I always helped her to serve her customers. And when there's a chance, I often watch her to cook sweets such as sweetened coconut bars (bukayo), Polvoron candies, Filipino Sweet Sticky rice (biko), Steamed rice cake (puto), and many many more.
Since I want to learn how to cook, she is the first person who taught me to cook sweets. Then I learned from my father as well. And with the help of cookbooks and recipes from the internet, I tried cooking different dishes, desserts, and even pastries.
So, cooking polvoron, brings back a lot of good memories. And I hope you can create wonderful memories with your love ones as well while making your own polvoron candy. :)
Oh, below is the picture of what I have made for my sister when I was in Dubai. I tried making a cookies and cream polvoron which is a different version from what my grandmother has taught me.
Usually polvoron candies are oblong or round shapes and wrapped in a colored cellophane. You can buy polvoron molders from the supermarket or to any leading baking shops. If you cannot find any polvoron molders, you can try what I did below. I used silicon cupcake cups to form my polvoron candies.
