Palitaw

Palitaw is a small, flat, sweet rice cake eaten in the Philippines. Palitaw is made from sticky or glutinous rice washed, soaked, and then Palitaw ground. Cooking is very easy to just scoop batter Palitaw then dropped it in boiling water when it floats on the surface of flat discs is a hint they're done.

2 cups malagkit
1 small coconut, grated
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup roasted linga

Soak the rice for at least 4 hours and grind to a stiff dough. Form into small balls, and flatten with a finger. Drop into boiling water. When they float, skim mid drop in cold water to prevent from stick-ing to each other. Drain and serve with grated coconut and pounded roasted linga.
