Palitaw Espesyal
Ingredients:
3 cups rice flour
water
1 cup grated coconut
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup ground peanuts
Preparation:
Fill medium pot with water and set on high heat to boil while preparing the palitaw.
Mix sugar and ground peanuts, set aside.
In a large bowl combine rice flour and water to form a dough like consistency, it should be pliable and will be ready if dough is not sticking to your palms.
Form into small balls, lay in the middle of your palm and flatten using your thumb to form oval shapes.
Drop in boiling water one by one and wait for a few second until it floats. Scoop out of the boiling water and drop to an ice bath.
Roll into the grated coconut and transfer to serving platter.
Sprinkle with the sugar and peanut mixture.
*You can also add sesame seeds into the grated coconut.
I also added pandan flavor to the dough that gave a tinge of green and a little flavor to my palitaw.
