How to make Polvoron

What you need to make Polvoron:

1 cup butter
1 cup powdered milk
cup sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions:
Soften butter and set aside;
Toast flour in a wok;
When flour is golden-brown, take out of the heat and mix in softened butter, milk, sugar, and vanilla until
everything is incorporated;
Mold, wrap in Japanese paper, and enjoy!
Note:
If you dont have butter
Margarine and shortening both come from vegetables, while butter is an animal product, and has the highest fat
content amongst the three.
These fats give moisture, tenderness, and, when creamed with sugar, become leaveners that help baked goods
rise.
You can substitute margarine for shortening or butter, or vice versabut you probably wont get the same taste.
Butter leaves a rich taste, shortening has no taste, and margarine has a rather oily taste.

HOW TO MAKE YEMA

Ingredients:
6 egg yolks
1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

1/2 kilo white sugar
Preparation Instructions:
In a frying pan or pot, mix the egg yolks, condensed milk, and vanilla until well blended.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat to prevent the mixture from burning.
Using a metal spatula, stir the milk as if you are scraping the bottom of the pan. Stir constantly.
This must be done continuously to avoid burning the milk and to prevent it from sticking to the bottom
of the pan.
The mixture is ready when it forms a ball. Let it cool.
When cool, form the mixture into balls about 2 to 3 cm in diameter.
Place the yema balls on a wide plate with white sugar then roll;
once coated, pick up each ball with a toothpick.
Set aside to cool.
When cool, wrap the balls in cellophane and twist both ends to secure.
