Palitaw

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 lb glutinous rice (malagkit)
• 1 cup sesame seeds, toasted
• 1 cup white sugar
• 4 cups freshly grated coconut
• Water

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Soak glutinous rice in water overnight.
2. The next day, drain the water. Grind the rice using a miller or a grinder. The end result is a dough of rice flour in a pasty consistency.
3. Shortcut: you can buy ready-made glutinous rice dough from your nearest public market, follow instructions on the package on how to make it into dough.
4. In a deep, large sauce pan, bring water to a boil, about 5 inches deep.
5. Take about a spoonful of the rice dough and roll it into a ball between the palms of your hands.
6. Flatten it in the middle using your thumb until it takes the shape of a tongue.
7. Drop the flattened dough into the pot of briskly boiling water. Wait for a few seconds until it starts to float.
8. Remove it from water.
9. Place the cooked palitaw on a bed of grated coconut.
10. Turn it over to cover both sides. Set aside.
11. Repeat the steps with the remaining dough.
12. In a separate small bowl, mix sugar and toasted sesame seeds (toasted for about 2 to 3 minutes on a hot skillet over medium heat).
13. Sprinkle this mixture over the cooked palitaw as you serve them.
