HISTORY/DESCRIPTION

Polvoron is a powdery Philippine sweet. It is Spanish in origin (polvo is Spanish for "powder"). The original Spanish polvoron is a flaky, soft, rich, shortbread-type cookie made with flour, lard or vegetable shortening, powdered sugar and cinnamon. The dough is refrigerated, then rolled out, cut and baked.

The Philippine version is very different, being made of a mixture of toasted flour, powdered milk, sugar, and melted butter. Other ingredients like pinipig or chopped nuts may be added. The mixture is molded into oval or round shapes with a polvorera (a special mold which allows the formed sweets to be discharged easily without crumbling). Once molded, polvoron is wrapped in cellophane or Japanese paper. (From WikiPilipinas)

2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
3/4 cup melted butter
1 tsp. vanilla
