2 cups powdered full cream milk

1 cup refined sugar

3/4 cup melted butter

pinch of salt

1. put flour in a shallow saucepan and toast over low to medium low heat. Stir continously to prevent burning. NOTE: to check if flour is cooked, take a small pinch and put on your tongue, the flour should dissolve easily and doesn't have the raw , floury taste.

2. In a separate container, sift together milk, sugar and salt.

3. Continue toasting the flour until it turns golden brown.

4. Add milk, sugar and salt to the flour. Mix well .

5. Make a well in the center and pour melted butter.

6. mix the flour mixture to the melted butter, making sure that it is well incorporated.

8. Using a polvoron mold, press polvoron on the mold firmly.

9. stack in a container and refrigerate ( or freeze) for a few hours or until it becomes firm. (makes it easy to wrap and prevents the molded polvoron from disintegrating )
