Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Powdered milk
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Salted butter
• 0.5 cup Peanut butter (creamy or chunky, depending on preference)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 set Polvoron molds or food-grade cookie molds
• 20 sheets Wax paper or cellophane wrappers

Directions

Step 1

Place a dry nonstick skillet or pan over medium-low heat. Toast the all-purpose flour by continuously stirring it with a wooden spoon or spatula, ensuring it doesn’t burn. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until it turns light golden brown and emits a nutty aroma.

Step 2

Once toasted, transfer the flour to a large mixing bowl and let it cool for about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the powdered milk and granulated sugar to the bowl with the toasted flour. Mix well until the dry ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 4

In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the salted butter in the microwave until fully liquified (about 20-30 seconds). Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 5

Pour the butter-peanut butter mixture into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or clean hands, mix everything thoroughly until the mixture resembles damp sand and sticks together when pressed.

Step 6

Pack the mixture tightly into polvoron molds or food-grade cookie molds. Use the palm of your hand or a flat surface to press down and compact the mixture. Carefully release the molded pieces by tapping lightly or pressing the mold’s release function.

Step 7

Place the molded polvoron on a clean tray or plate. Repeat the process with the rest of the mixture until all of it is used.

Step 8

If desired, wrap each polvoron individually in wax paper or cellophane to keep them fresh and make them easier to serve. Twist the edges of the wrappers to secure.

Step 9

Refrigerate the polvoron for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving. Enjoy your homemade Peanut Butter Polvoron!
