Palitaw

Palitaw is very simple yet super delicious dessert or merienda. The Palitaw means "floating" because it rise above the boiling water once the dough is cook. Dipped or coated in fresh grated coconut (or use the sweetened shredded coconut from store), roasted sesame seeds (optional) and sprinkle with granulated sugar. I learned to make this from my mom and my late grandmother definitely brings back my childhood memories.
