Cashew Polvoron Recipe

This recipe is a slight variation of the classic polvoron recipe. In this recipe, we added cashew which is a good source of antioxidants, energy, vitamins and minerals.

Cashew Polvoron Ingredients

• 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
• 2/3 cup full cream milk powder
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup salted butter
• 3/4 cup margarine
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup cashew nut, coarsely chopped

Procedure for Making the Cashew Polvoron

1. Toast the all-purpose flour in a frying pan over medium heat. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon until light brown in color for approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
2. Transfer the toasted flour to a mixing bowl with flat beater attachment then add the rest of the dry ingredients. Mix for about 1 minute at slow speed. Set aside.
3. Over medium heat, melt butter and margarine in a saucepan.
4. Add the melted fat unto the dry ingredients then mix at low speed for approximately 3 minutes or until incorporated.
