My first home made Palitaw. Hehehe, kong kailan ako tumanda saka pa ako nagtiyagang magluto ng native sweets. Nakakasawa na kasi ang cake kaya balik native ako ngayon. Hindi ako natututong magluto nito noon dahil wala akong interest at tiyaga at isa pa namihasa din dahil may tigagawa. Matagal ko ng inaasam-asam na makakain ulit ng Palitaw pero malayo na ako sa kaibigan kong mabait at masipag. Kaya heto ako’t nagsariling sikap :).

Sa tutuo lang medyo nahirapan ako sa dough dahil dumidikit ito sa kamay ko everytime I tried to flatten it. Yon pala medyo sumobra lang ang tubig kaya ito basa. Basically, it is very easy to do pero siguro ganun lang talaga kapag first timer pa. It’s like as if you are experimenting. Tiyaga lang talaga ang kailangan. Here’s the result of what I made.

 

 

The recipe:

Ingredients:

500 gram glutinous rice flour

3/4 cup water

coconut flakes

white sugar

sesame seeds (toasted)

Mix rice flour with water to make dough. Make little balls then flatten. Boil water in a saucepan. Drop flattened dough balls into boiling water. The cakes are cooked when they float. Remove from water, let cool a little bit, roll in combined sugar and toasted sesame seeds and coconut flakes.
