Pulvoron or Polvoron is a type of unbaked shortbread cookie which is molded and wrapped in colored paper or plastic. Most Filipino kids grew up eating polvoron. Our moms used to make them at home but nowadays you can easily buy them. Polvorons are so easy to make. They are traditionally molded, however, I have seen kids eating them out of a container with a spoon which is a great idea because you no longer have to mold and wrap them. For best results, use a good quality full cream powdered milk. Butter will give the best flavor but a shorter shelf life. Shortening has a longer shelf life but has a bland or flat taste. I use a combination of shortening and butter. This works well for me. For the flour, you can use any kind of flour - all purpose, cake or bread. They will all work and will taste the same. Play with different flavors and variant ingredients like rice crispies, cheese, dried mangoes, nuts, chocolate chips, etc. Shelf life of the polvoron is dependent also on the variant ingredient added. This is an activity that you can do with your kids! Good luck!
Chef's Notes:
1. In my kitchen, I sometimes have left over cake flour, bread flour, all purpose and flour which are unlabelled. I put them all together and toast them and use them for polvoron. This is a good way to use your leftovers.
2. If you are toasting flour in small quantities, you can do it on top of a stove. If you are making in big quantities, I suggest that you toast your flour in the oven. This is less labor intensive since you need to stir the flour only once every 10 minutes and you can toast a large amount of flour at one time.
