Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Powdered milk
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Optional: crushed cookies, nuts, or rice puffs
• 1 piece Polvoron mold or cookie cutter
• 1 pack Colored cellophane or Japanese paper (for wrapping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a dry pan over low heat, toast the all-purpose flour while stirring continuously. Cook for about 8-10 minutes or until the flour turns light golden brown and develops a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn it.

Step 2

Remove the toasted flour from the heat and transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Let it cool for a few minutes.

Step 3

Once the toasted flour has cooled, add the powdered milk and granulated sugar. Mix well until the dry ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 4

Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan or microwave. Gradually pour the melted butter into the dry mixture while stirring. Mix until the mixture is evenly moistened and has a crumbly yet compact texture.

Step 5

If desired, mix in crushed cookies, nuts, or rice puffs for additional flavor and crunch.

Step 6

Using a polvoron mold or cookie cutter, press the mixture firmly into the mold to form compact discs or shapes. Gently release the polvoron and place it on a tray or parchment paper. Repeat until all of the mixture is used.

Step 7

If desired, wrap each polvoron in colored cellophane or Japanese paper for storage or gifting.

Step 8

Chill the polvoron in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
