Brown Butter Polvoron
Brown Butter Polvoron
Plus postage and packaging.
Often described as a Filipino ‘shortbread’, polvoron is a popular snack item - crumbly, biscuity, a little sweet, and very more-ish. It makes for a great treat, as well as an excellent pasalubong, a token gift you bring back from your travels to show your loved ones you were thinking about them.
Traditional polvoron sees toasted flour, sugar, powdered milk and butter mixed together and then pressed into a mould, forming a small tablet which is then wrapped in tissue paper or cellophane. My version amps this up with the addition of toasted pinipig (pounded young rice) and butter that has been browned until nutty and aromatic, which deepens both the savouriness and sweetness.
Enjoy it as is, or crumbled over your favourite ice creams or creamy cakes.
SUGGESTED USAGES: Eat it by itself, like a little biscuit. Alternatively, crumble it into small pieces and use it as a topping for ice cream, yoghurt, cheesecakes, pannacottas, possets, fools, or any other desserts where you want a crunchy counterpoint
