PALITAW RECIPE (YOU CAN MAKE EASILY)

Jump to Recipe

This Palitaw recipe is a must try. It is simple to make. I believe you can make it too.

Palitaw is a chewy rice cake rolled into a freshly grated coconut,toasted sesame seeds and sugar. This is a favorite Filipino dessert.

It occurred to me that this will be a good Saturday. The sun is out and we actually have a better temperature today - 89 F; way better than the 98 F yesterday. Although this would be a perfect time to go out and soak under the sun and  relax near the river, I opted to make ice cream and this Palitaw for the blog. So I just stayed in the house with my cute sleepers and my pajamas

...and prepare all the Palitaw ingredients; and really, there weren't much.

Just sesame seeds, glutinous rice flour and sugar.

So simple.

And I have to talk about this shredder.

PALITAW RECIPE YOU CAN MAKE EASILY

I got it from the Asian store in Kansas.  Unfortunately, you have to use a fresh shredded coconut to have a tasty Palitaw. Also, you have to toast the sesame seeds to give the Palitaw a nutty flavor. I tried a pre- bought toasted sesame seeds, but it was not at par with the freshly toasted seeds, so I just do it myself. All you have to do is just heat a frying pan and toast the sesame seeds until they are "flying" all over. LOL

Palitaw or float in English is a famous dessert/snacks in the Philippines. This snacks got its name because when you prepare it, you just have to submerge the Palitaw mixture into the boiling water and when it floats, it is done. After that, you will have to drain the Palitaw and roll it in the shredded coconut and sprinkle it with the sesame seed and sugar mix.

Although I had made this Palitaw several times, for some reason today, I have trouble perfecting the Palitaw mixture. It came out too wet and it had trouble sticking together. When that happens to you, just start with 1 1/4 cup of glutinous rice and 3/4 cup of water. If it is still soggy, add glutinous rice sparingly... maybe 1 teaspoons at a time until you will be able to handle the mixture. It also help if you coat your hand with glutinous rice flour upon handling the mixture.

So enjoy this Filipino snacks and I hope you have a great day today.
