Pinipig Polvoron
Polvoron originates from the spanish word polvo, which means powder. The beyond a reasonable doubt Filipino treat and well known pasalubong is an adaptation of the Spanish polvoron, which is a brittle shortbread made of sugar, flour, drain, and nuts. The Filipino polvoron is basically toasted flour blended with powdered drain, sugar, and liquefied margarine, then pressed into round, brittle pieces. Pinoy delicacies like pinipig and cashew nuts are toasted and ground, then added to polvoron for an alternate layer of flavor.
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 cups Cake Flour
- 2 cups White Sugar
- 1 cup Pinipig, toasted and ground

- 2 cups Powdered Milk
2.) Mix together the toasted cake flour,
powdered milk, sugar, pinipig and the melted
margarine.
3.) Using a polvoron molder, shape the
mixture. Wrap in cellophane.
