Palitaw Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups glutinous rice
• 3/4 cup water
• 1/8 cup glutinous rice flour for dusting
• 2 cups grated coconut (niyog)
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Combine glutinous rice flour and water in a bowl. Keep mixing until mixture turns into a dough. Dust hands and fingers with glutinous rice flour to prevent dough from sticking to hands while shaping it.
2. Take 2 teaspoonfuls of the dough and roll into a ball. Flatten mixture against the palm.
3. In a saucepot, boil 6 cups water. Drop palitaw pieces one at a time into the boiling water, taking extra care that they do not stick to each other in the pot.
4. When a palitaw floats to the surface, remove using a skimmer and transfer to a plate or tray. Cool slightly.
5. Dredge both sides of each palitaw in grated coconut then arrange on a baking sheet. Toast sesame seeds, then pound slightly in a mortar and pestle.
6. Combine toasted seeds with granulated sugar in a bowl and sprinkle over palitaw.
