Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon extract
• 1 cup powdered milk
• 2 cups unsalted butter, melted

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Toast the flour in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning, until it turns light brown, about 5 minutes. Let cool, at least 15 minutes.

Step 2

Cut waxed paper into twenty 4-inch squares.

Step 3

Stir butter, sugar, powdered milk, and lemon extract into the flour. Mix well. Fill a polvoron mold tightly with a portion of the mixture. Press the plunger down to release the candy onto a square of waxed paper. Wrap candy in the waxed paper and twist the ends. Repeat until all of the candy mixture is used up.
