Palatable Palitaw

Palitaw is a very easy to cook Filipino snack. All you need to do is to make some dough disks from rice flour and water. Boil these disks, then smother with sugar, sesame seeds and grated coconut meat. These are very delicious and easy to prepare.

Makes 30 palitaw disks

4 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 cup sugar
1 cup grated coconut
4 cups rice flour
3 cups water

Toast sesame seeds in a dry saucepan over medium heat. Whisk the sesame seeds for about 2 minutes or until they are golden brown.

Quickly remove the seeds from the pan and place in a medium bowl. Let the seeds to cool to room temperature, then add sugar and grated coconut. Blend well.

Combine the rice flour and water in a large dish until you form sticky dough. This dough should not be dry or crumbly.

Take about a tablespoon of dough then form small disks about a quarter inch thick. Put these disks on floured surface to avoid sticking.

Boil water then reduce heat to low, and allow water to simmer. Lightly place some disks into the boiling water. Once these disks float, remove them using spoon, drain the disks on paper towels.

Smother these rice disks with grated coconut, and then set them aside to cool. Serve with coffee or hot chocolate.
