Product Information

But if you need to keep it longer, don’t worry, it will still be edible for a few weeks after that. Just be aware that the quality will not be as good as it once was. Is Polvoron made of flour? A polvorón (From polvo, the Spanish word for powder, or dust) is a type of heavy, soft, and very crumbly Spanish shortbread made of flour, sugar, milk, and nuts (especially almonds). They are mostly produced in Andalusia, where there are about 70 factories that are part of a syndicate that produces polvorones and mantecados. [1] Under the name mantecados, these sweets are a traditional preparation of other areas of the Iberian Peninsula and other Spanish-speaking countries as well. [2] Prior to this, the different islands were independent states with their own languages, traditions, and governments.

Polvorones are rich and sweet, and their powdery texture makes them very unique. If you’re ever in a Spanish-speaking country during the Christmas season, be sure to try one (or a few!) of these delicious sweets. What can I use to mold Polvoron? The Filipino version of polvorón (sometimes spelled "polboron" or "pulburon") is made from toasted flour, sugar, powdered milk, and butter or margarine instead of lard. In contrast to other polvorón, it is not baked and has a very fine powder-like and dry consistency. Though usually compressed and shaped by round or oval tin molds and individually wrapped in colorful papel de japón or cellophane, it can also be eaten in its toasted powder form stored in jars. [5] [6] Step 2: Place the flour in a large saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the flour turns light brown and fragrant. Turn off the heat and transfer the toasted flour to a large bowl.

The islands were collectively colonized and unified under the name Philippines in honor of King Philip II. I love molding polvoron and trying to get it firm and perfect. It’s like building a sandcastle but a sandcastle that requires a more delicate touch. Once you have you 4 different batches of polvoron flavors ready and molded, all that’s left to do is get it wrapped. Get a different color for each flavor to have things organized. Wrapping the molded polvoron also requires a delicate touch.

Conclusion You can do this recipe and the entire process of molding and wrapping the polvoron by yourself. I found it to be a meditative experience of just focusing on being delicate with the polvoron. Once it is soft, it is then mixed with the coconut milk and sugar. The mixture is then formed into balls and steamed until cooked through.
