This is recipe for coconut and sugar coated Filipino palitaw from the orphanage in the Philippines where I
lived and worked for a year.

INGREDIENTS
SCALE 1x 2x 3x

4 1/2 cups glutinous rice flour

2 cups water
sugar for dusting
shredded coconut for dusting

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Mix the glutinous rice flour with the water until a thick, sticky mixture forms. Roll into small balls.
2. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the glutinous rice balls and boil until solid and floating to the top, about 10 minutes. Drain the
water and let the palitaw cool slightly.
3. When cool enough to handle, roll in a bowl of sugar and coconut. Serve plain or on skewers. In my opinion, these are best while
they’re still hot. For a fun twist, try adding food coloring to the dough or topping with colored sugar.
