I have never tried making palitaw before, but after realizing how quick and easy to make this yummy Pinoy snack is, this has been a "regular" in our home.
"Palitaw", which literally means to float, is a flattened rice cake simply made of glutinuos rice flour topped with freshly grated coconut, white sugar and roasted sesame seeds.
It is a saviour for a full-time working mom like me, especially when I have to whip a quick meal for my 3 always hungry kiddos.
🍴 Here's a quick and simple recipe for you:
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup glutinuos rice flour
1/2 cup water
freshly grated coconut
3 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp roasted sesame seeds
Procedure:
Put glutinuos rice flour in a bowl and gradually add water until you achieve a dough-like consistency.
Roll them into small balls then flatten.
Boil 2 cups of water in a small pan. Gently add the rice mix into the boiling water.
Remove the rice cake from the water when it starts to float.
Mix together the grated cocounut, sugar and sesame seeds then sprinkle over the rice cakes.
Serve and enjoy!
