I love this food blogging thing. It has turned me into a Martha-Esque diva. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I've always enjoyed cooking and dabbling in a little bit of baking here and there, but to be making my own longganisa and chicharon? Or bottling my own atchara<\/a> and mango jam<\/a>? Who would have thought? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cassava cake<\/a>, mini egg pies<\/a>, and ube halaya<\/a> have always been my specialties, but since starting Kawaling Pinoy, I also learned how to make buchi<\/a>, coconut macaroons<\/a>, and Brazo de Mercedes<\/a>! And today, after spending the whole afternoon testing and re-testing several recipes to come up with the taste and texture I like, I can now make pastillas de leche at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And not the shortcut pastillas using condensed milk, mind you. These are the real deal, authentic Bulacan delicacies made with fresh milk. You're going to love them, for sure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are Pastillas de Leche<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pastillas de leche, also called pastiyema, are a type of Filipino candies that originated from the farmlands of Bulacan province. These confections are traditionally made with carabao milk and sugar along with citrus juice to balance the richness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
