Palitaw Recipe


INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. In a large mixing bowl, knead the rice flour and water to make a smooth dough. Once it holds together and separates cleanly from the bowl, the dough is ready.
  2. With floured hands, pinch off about 1-1/2 tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball. Flatten into a patty, about 2 to 3 inches in diameter and about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside on a dry plate. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
  3. Place grated coconut in a small bowl. In a separate small bowl, mix sugar and toasted sesame seeds.
  4. In a pot, bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Once ready, drop the dumplings into the boiling water two to three pieces at a time to prevent them from sticking with each other. Do not crowd the pot.
  5. Boil the dumplings until they puff, turn just a little translucent, and float to the top, about 1 to 3 minutes. Scoop them out and drain. Repeat until all dumplings are done.
  6. Roll the cooked dumplings in the coconut, then sprinkle generously with the prepared sugar-toasted sesame seeds mixture. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
