One of my ultimate food cravings is polvoron. I used to always drop by Goldilocks whenever I’m at the mall just so I could take home a pack or two of their different flavored polvoron.
I also remember my favorite godma, Ninang Perla, teaching me how to prepare homemade polvoron. It may look easy, but getting just the right amount of sweetness and flavors with every serving could make or break your success in preparing them.
The regular polvoron is made of toasted flour, powdered milk, sugar and butter. Throughout the years, foodies have come up with different varieties of it by adding flavors like chocolate, peanut butter, cookies and cream, and pinipig.
Over the past few months, I’ve been seeing fellow bloggers raving about polvoron made by another blogger and foodie, Fedhz Aquino. I’ve wanted to try her homemade polvoron so I was pretty glad that during the Teleserv Bloggers Movie Night, I met her and she was giving away samples of her products (great marketing strategy, gurl!)!
I intended to take a photo of the polvoron after I unwrapped them, but after I took the one below, a ton of print orders came in at my computer shop. I unmindfully grabbed and gobbled up each polvoron while I was designing layouts and printing away. I only realized they were all gone after I finished all the printing. Waaahh. 😀
But, trust me, they were all good. I love that the sweetness is just right, unlike Goldilocks’. Also, I’m glad that the powdered mix doesn’t stick in your mouth as they melt. Anyone can easily tell they were homemade because of the quality of each polvoron – they were prepared with love. 🙂
