An afterrnoon snack to enjoy this palitaw recipe is made within 20 minutes you only need 5 ingredients and its naturally gluten-free
Equipment
- pot
- measuring cups
- strainer with handle
Ingredients Needed
- 2 cups glutinous rice flour + 2 tbsp
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup grated coconut
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar ( I use brown cane sugar)
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds (roasted)
Instructions
- Heat pan and roast sesame seeds for 2-3 minutes.
- Once roasted, mix together with granulated sugar and set aside.
- Prepare grated coconut and set aside.
- Prepare a pot with water fill it enough and let it boil.
- Prepare the dough, mix glutinous rice flour and water together. If its too watery add 2 tablespoons of glutinous rice flour again, about 1 tbsp at a time.
- Once you get the right texture scoop a portion and flatten with your palm. Make sure your hands and palms are a bit wet to avoid sticking in your hands.
- Check if the water is already boiling, then drop the rice dough.
- Make sure to have enough room for each rice dough you will drop so they won’t stick together.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes or wait till it’s floating.
- Once cooked, use a strainer scoop to remove palitaw and drain excess water.
- Roll palitaw in grated coconut.
- Put in a plate and top with the mixture of sugar and sesame seeds or you can roll it in the mixture too before finally putting in a clean plate.
- Serve and enjoy while it’s warm.

Notes
- I use natural brown cane sugar for this recipe but you can also use white sugar of your choice.
- I suggest after scooping the rice dough and making it flat with your palms simply drop it right away in the boiling water.
- For leftovers keep in a clean airtight container. I don’t suggest putting it in the fridge because it can get hard and not easy to eat.
- Because of the coconut maybe it can only last overnight it's better to enjoy and finish after cooking.
