What is Palitaw<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traditional Palitaw is made from glutinous rice grains soaked in water overnight and then processed into a soft dough via grinding. The dough is formed into thin patties, cooked in boiling water, and then coated with grated coconut, toasted sesame seeds, and sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its name is from the Filipino root word \"litaw<\/em>\" or \"to surface,\" as the patties will float or rise to the water's surface when done. It's also called \"dila dila<\/em>\" in other parts of the country because of the shape of the patties resembling a \"tongue.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With commercial sweet rice flour available, making these mochi cakes can't get any easier than mixing the flour with water! It is important, however, to note that a good palitaw is all about texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
