Polvoron Time

I picked up a bag of powdered milk from Woolies 

and decided to make polvoron.

MyGirl wrapped up a few to bring to school

and a couple for me to bring to the office.

The polvoron mold I used was a rather dodgy one and I ended up with a blister on my thumb.

I promptly sent out a message to my siblings asking them to help me find a wooden mold

similar to the one my grandaunt used for making her delicious polvoron.

Siblings from all over the world were very supportive.

I had willing eBay bidders.

Mindy sent me several links to other ways of making polvoron without the conventional mold.

One video was particularly promising.  It led me to check out other videos.  

Mindy said she'd try making polvoron this way and keep me posted.

The eBay bidding ends Sunday night EST.

I wanted to see for myself how easy or feasible it would be to make polvoron the unconventional way so I mixed up a batch of cookies and cream polvoron yesterday.

MyGirl helped mold them using mini-muffin cups and the tamper.

We put them in the fridge before taking them out of the mold.

They turned out all right.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, her cousins were also busy making polvoron.

We made about five dozen polvoron using the polvoron mold but only two dozen using the mini-muffin pans. I'm guessing Mindy and company ended up with about a dozen giant muffin-sized ones.
