Ingredients

  • 2 ⅙ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup whole milk powder
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ½ cups unsalted butter
  • 4 pandan leaves, tied in knots
  • 2 teaspoons pandan extract

Instructions

  • Toast the flour in a large frying pan over low heat, stirring continuously with a rubber spatula until the flour changes color from white to light brown, approximately 10-12 min.
  • Transfer the toasted flour to a mixing bowl. Add the rest of the dry ingredients and mix together. Set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, steep pandan leaves while butter is melting.
  • Remove the pandan leaves. Add the warm melted butter into the dry ingredients then mix until incorporated. Add pandan extract and mix.
  • While the mixture is still warm, form desired polvoron shapes by packing the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) into the polvoron molder or plunger cutter (Don’t press the mixture in too hard or it will get stuck in the mold!).
  • Cool for at least 1 hour in the fridge or until firm.
