First time I made pastillas today. It was very good, sweetness is just right. Thank you

[lorraineguillennorbe]

This is what I am eating right now and I wondered how it is done. Super yummy! My favorite since childhood 😍 Thanks for the recipe!!

Love it since I was a kid... Few things I like about Pinoy ancestry

Okay my first attempt was a success!
However, it did mess up not stirring enough. You should have a fine mesh strainer and bowl just in case you make the same mistake I did. The milk will create a film on the bottom if you don't stir enough and it will burn. I realized my mistake half way and quickly stirred hard and scrapped off the film which was browning. I then quickly filtered the hot milk through a fine mesh strainer and returned the milk to the hot pan.

It took me 1 hour to evaporate the milk down. That was a lot of stirring, but the outcome was great. Everything went to plan after that.

I do recommend by cooling you should wait until its just warm. As it will still be pliable. If you let it get really cold it kinda gets like hard playdoe which is hard to roll.

Overall mine turned out great afterwards and its milky/creamy flavor is great.

Its close to what we call khoya in Pakistan & India Sub-continent

Just wondering - would substituting almond milk for the carabao's milk turn out the same results?

[carriepalar]

Looks so yummy! 😋😋😋 I'll try make it one of these days 😄😄😄

Hi, we followed the instructions and the outcome is great. However, after 2 days of storing the pastillas, nagmoist sya at medjo mamasa masa ung bond paper at japanese paper. Considered hindi mainit ung store room. Any suggestion?

[luxariaheart]

Hi! What texture is it? Does it become sticky like it sticks to your gums or not at all? I’m using 3 ingredient recipes with powdered milk, condensed milk, and sugar and it ends up really sticky. Pls help, I wanna know if this recipe makes it not sticky

[luto-lutuangnoypi]

[andreacontreras]

How long it will last rin po? Like expiration date, depende po ba yung expiration date niya sa brand and products po na ginamit?

[KrissyVibes]

Hello. What kind of powdered milk is best for a truly authentic taste? Thank you!

[GENWINTALKS]

Can I use fresh milk from the supermarket? Like Cow Head pure milk?

[marylouSunderland]

Can I use coffee mate as substitute for normal powdered milk?

[jolinejavinez]
