Whole Wheat Pulvoron

Pulvoron, pronounced as "pull-vau-raun", is a popular Filipino candy that is made with toasted flour, powdered milk, sugar, butter, and vanilla. Shaped with Pulvoron Mold then wrapped in colorful Japanese paper or Papel de Hapon. I used tissue paper as I can't find Japanese paper.

 I'm sharing my mom's recipe that she used in our little bakery back home. My tweaked version of these has been influenced by my second home, the United States. So here is my version of a Filipino-American Pulvoron using Whole Wheat Flour. Enjoy!

8. Makes 2 dozen when using a one-inch mold.
