MY CINNAMON PALITAW

During Lent season in the Philippines specially in the provinces, the so called “KAKANIN” is very famous at kadalasang kasama sa handaan. This serves not only as dessert but also for snacks (merienda). Today this was our snack, my daughter helped me to prepare it. I added cinnamon powder for a change and you know what it turned out sooo…SUPER!

YOU NEED..

* rice flour – about a cup.
* 3/4 cup water
* grated coconut or coconut flakes
* Lots of white sugar
* Toasted linga (sesame seeds)
* 1 tsp. cinnamon powder

* Mix rice flour with water to make dough. Make little balls then flatten.

* Boil water in a casserole. Drop flattened dough balls into boiling water. The cakes are cooked when they float.

* Remove from water, let cool a little bit, roll in combined sugar and toasted sesame seeds and coconut flakes.
