Espasol Recipe
Description
The Espasol Recipe begins by toasting glutinous rice flour over medium-low heat until light brown, which imparts a toasted, nutty flavor essential to the dish. Separately, coconut milk, sugar, vanilla, and optionally salt are boiled to dissolve sugar and create a flavorful liquid base. The liquid is gradually mixed into the toasted flour while stirring continuously on low heat to form a sticky, pliable dough. Its readiness is indicated when a spoonful holds its shape when turned over.
The dough is then transferred to a surface heavily dusted with the reserved toasted rice flour, flattened to about half an inch thickness, and cut into log shapes. The coating prevents sticking and adds texture. This traditional Filipino treat is unique for its chewy consistency and coconut aroma, often enjoyed as a snack or dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 cups glutinous rice flour
- 2 cups coconut milk
- ⅔ cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt (optional)
Instructions
- In a skillet or pan over medium-low heat, toast the glutinous rice flour while stirring every so often until it turns slightly brown, about 10-15 minutes.
- While waiting, combine the rest of the ingredients in a pot or saucepan and bring to boil. Cook until sugar is completely dissolved and let it simmer for about another 5 minutes.
- Turn the heat on the rice flour to low. Remove ½ cup from the rice flour and set aside. Then gradually pour the liquids into the center of the pan while continuously stirring from the middle going out, mixing in the flour into the liquids as you go. It will be very sticky so use a wooden spoon or something that is sturdy. Keep on stirring until it forms a sticky dough. You know it is done when you take a spoonful and turn it over and it holds its form.
- Transfer the sticky dough to a flat surface that is generously dusted with the reserved toasted glutinous rice flour. Flaten the dough to about half an inch thick. Cut into logs (about 4 inches long) using a knife or dough cutter. Roll each log in toasted rice flour. Wrap each piece with baking paper or simply serve on a plate.
