Kulinarya - Spanish/Filipino Dishes and Desserts
Thanks to AC from Acdee and Ziggy from My Filipino Kitchen, this months Kulinarya theme is Filipino/Spanish dishes or desserts.
I decided to make Pastillas De Leche. This is normally made with Water Buffalo milk and cooked until the mixture is thick. It is then cooled and rolled in sugar. I couldn’t find any Water Buffalo milk, so I decided to use a recipe that my mum often makes for her friends. It’s simple and doesn’t require any cooking.
Pastilles De Leche
Ingredients
2 cups of powdered milk
1 can of condensed milk
1 tablespoon of melted unsalted butter (optional)
½ cup of caster sugar
2 cups of powdered milk
1 can of condensed milk
1 tablespoon of melted unsalted butter (optional)
½ cup of caster sugar
Method
1. Sift the powdered milk into a bowl.
2. Combine the melted butter and the condensed milk into another bowl.
2. Combine the melted butter and the condensed milk into another bowl.
3. Add the sifted powdered milk into the condensed milk mixture and stir until well combined. It should be a thick and sticky consistency.
4. Grab spoonfuls of the mixture and roll into small cylinders. Coat in the caster sugar and wrap individual cylinders in tissue paper or cellophane.
This Spanish/Filipino inspired sweet is sure to please. It's a breeze to make and incredibly delicious.

Yummy, pastillas de leche is one of my favorite childhood indulgences :) and your version is so easy to make--thanks for sharing this recipe!
I just got pastillas de leche for pasalubong (and they are almost gone) and wondered if I'll be able to make them here since carabao milk is not available. I'm so glad you shared your mother's recipe. :)
Nice Kath... I really love pastillas and struggle to find them in Australia and just never thought of making it myself. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I am sure everyone will really enjoy it.
Perfect for a quick sugar hit. I love how simple it is to put together.
That box is gorgeous by the way.

I love this and I didn't realise it was easy to make
I love pastillas de leche, I usually eat them slowly because I love the creaminess of it. Thanks for the recipe=)
this reminds me of childhood. We used to steal crumbs of these from the neighborhood Pastillas factory. And I used to get beat up by my pops because i'm with the pastillas-snatcher gang. LOL.
The awesomeness of doing this is the whiff of milk while you're swirling them to goodness. I heart.
