  • coconut flakes
  • Lots of white sugar
  • Toasted linga (sesame seeds).

Mix rice flour with water to make dough. Make little balls then flatten. Boil water in a saucepan. 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.


METHOD #4

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 kilo Galapong

  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Pinch of Cinnamon (optional)
Procedure:
  1. Boil water.
  2. Shape galapong into small disks. Drop one by one to the boiling water. When it floats, it's already cooked (hence, the palitaw name).
  3. Remove cooked palitaw with a slotted spoon to drain the water and place on a bed of niyog. Cover both sides of the palitaw with niyog. Arrange on a platter or banana leaves.
  4. Mix sugar, toasted sesame seeds and cinnamon. Sprinkle over the palitaw.
Tip: If you can't purchase galapong in the supermarket or palengke, simply mix glutenous rice flour and water until you get the consistency of children's clay. Your kids would love making this.


METHOD #5

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup glutinous rice flour
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • Granulated sugar
  • Fresh grated coconut
  • Toasted sesame seeds
Procedure:
  1. Mix until the flour and water the two come together to form a pliable ball of dough
  2. Take a heaping tablespoon full of the dough and roll it into a ball, then flatten it into a pad shape with the palm of your hand
  3. Poach the Palitaw in simmering water until they begin to float (about 30 seconds to 1 minute)
  4. Allow the pads to dry out and cool down a little so that they don't turn the sugar into a syrup when you roll it around in it
  5. Sprinkle with grated coconut and the sesame seeds
