Maru of Maruism makes a delish LaFemme polvoron which reminds me of my usual Christmas activity — making polvoron and pastillas for my friends and family.
Here’s the basic recipe of polvoron or powdered milk candy:
Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup refined sugar
1/2 cup powdered milk
1/2 teaspoon iodized salt
1/2 cup margarine
Procedure:
1. Toast all purpose flour until light brown, stirring constantly over moderate heat.
2. Add powdered milk, iodized salt (I don’t usually add this for my margarine is already salted), and margarine. Mix evenly.
3. Add sugar into the flour mixture.
4. Put into a flat container and mold by a polvoron molder.
5. Wrap polvoron in japanese paper (papel de hapon) or cellophane.
Add a little touch of creativity by putting it in a box or a little basket with ribbon, a wonderful gift idea for Christmas. If you’re a bit lazy doing this, you can order Maru’s LaFemme polvoron which is also available in different flavors. Enjoy!
