Palitaw

Palitaw is another sweet rice cake popular in the Philippines. It is one of my favorite and the easiest dessert to make.

Ingredients:
- 2 cups ground malagkit (glutinous rice- grind 3 times)
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup grated coconut
- 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
- 1 cup sugar

Procedure:
- Soak malagkit (glutinous rice) flour with water for at least 1 hour.
- Form into small balls and flatten with fingers to form tongues.
- Drop in boiling water. When they float, skim and drop in cold water.
- Drain and roll in mixed coconut, sugar and sesame seed mixture.
- Serve.
