  7. Hi Yuri,

    yes this is very easy to make. I hate to eat milk powder but this Polvoron makes me eat the milk powder unconsiously.

  9. Hi Aunty Lucy,
    Just to check with you on the "cup" measurement. do i need to do conversion to gm or just use the measuring cup? if measuring cup, what cup are u using in your recipe? Could you kindly help? Thks in advance for the recipe. Regards, Chris

  10. Hi Chris,

    I did not convert to gm. I just use a cup of measure. Scoop out the flour and give a little shake to level it. During frying add in a little more flour cos it will be lighter and drier after frying. For this Polvoron, plus minus is not a problem. This is a Non-failure Recipe.

  14. hi aunty do i have to chop the nut or grind the nut into powder? what about if i use peanuts does it taste good? thanks

  15. Hi anonymous,

    you can use any nuts which you like - chopped it up coarsely so that when you bite into it, it has a crunchy feeling.

  19. Hi ash,

    you're most welcome..

    as long as it's a ring, you can make polvoron. Make sure you press it tight then remove it from the ring and then chill it before wrapping.
