Yema balls

Yema balls

Yema is a sweet concoction made with milk and egg yolks. My 11-year-old daughter had been asking for the longest time if we could make pastillas. Well, the thought of rolling each tiny pastillas and wrapping it in paper just seemed too much work. Yema balls would be easier. Same taste, same texture but no wrapping necessary. While trying to decide what we would have for lunch today, my daughter and I made some yema balls from a can of condensed milk, powdered milk, an egg yolk, a little butter, powdered coconut cream and white sugar. Traditional recipes don’t include coconut cream but I wanted something unique, so I decided to add some.

They were so good that my daughter was “tasting” the cooked mixture before she could roll it into balls. Yep, division of labor. I did the cooking and the stirring; she did the rolling.

  10. Connie on Thu, 3rd Aug 2006 5:43 pm 

    powdered coconut cream is available in groceries. they come in pouches. i use the “coconut king” brand. :)

  11. anna on Fri, 4th Aug 2006 10:12 am

  15. Maria Young on Thu, 28th Sep 2006 2:52 pm 

    Hi,
    Could you tell me what is full cream/milk powder that you use in the yema recipe.
    Thank you,
    Maria

  16. Loren on Thu, 5th Oct 2006 4:21 am 

    Hi Connie! Ive been reading your blogs for 2 days now and i happened to bump on your yema recipe and tried cooking it right away. its soooo good. i am a newbie when it comes to cooking but reading ur blogs and seeing the yummy pictures you’ve been posting, goodness, nakakagutom and at the same time its inspiring me to cook.

    Thanks so much for sharing your recipe. i’m gonna cook one of ur pasta recipe this weekend and surprise my boyfriend.

    More power to you!

  17. Connie on Thu, 5th Oct 2006 9:58 am 

    Maria, it’s Birch Tree.

    Loren, re the boyfriend…you know, my husband says he married me for my cooking hehehe

  18. IT guy on Sat, 21st Oct 2006 6:46 pm 

    However it taste more like pastillas. My taste tells me that yema should have peanut taste. On the other hand Pastillas are pure milk, like pastillas of cabiao, nueva ecija, pampanga and your recipe.

  19. peaches on Sat, 11th Nov 2006 4:39 pm 

    hi! my daughter loves yema… can you pls. send me your recipe… tnxs.

  20. Connie on Sat, 11th Nov 2006 8:48 pm 

    Hi peaches. There is a notice right above the text of the entry that I don’t e-mail recipes.

    But you can click the link to page 2 to get it.

  21. abbie on Mon, 20th Nov 2006 9:06 pm 

    hi! what butter do you use? chunky ba to or soft yung loob? :)

  22. Connie on Mon, 20th Nov 2006 9:23 pm 

    abbie, anchor butter. soft inside. :)

  23. abbie on Tue, 21st Nov 2006 9:18 am 

    hi connie, thanks for the reply, i forgot to ask the brand of condensed milk :) how long does it take before it expires?

  24. Connie on Tue, 21st Nov 2006 12:10 pm 

    abbie, the expiration date of the milk is printed on the label. if you’re referring to the expiration of the yema balls, i really don’t know. they never last longer than 24 hours in our house. :)

  25. Trish on Tue, 5th Dec 2006 4:49 pm 

    hi hi,
    this looks like a really good recipe for yema. the others calling for 8-10 eggs per recipe are way too rich. i’m definitely going to try this milkier version! thanks for this recipe connie :smile: …hmm..wonder if i can freeze the shaped balls and then dip them into caramelized sugar for an old fashioned touch.

    more power! great blog!
    :razz:

  26. Esmeralda on Wed, 13th Dec 2006 6:33 am 

    Do you have any recipe for ensemada? Thanks.
    Esmeralda

  27. Marissa on Fri, 15th Dec 2006 4:43 am 

    Great web site. I find it funny that you get so much “Please send me the recipe…” messages. My sympathies.

    Is there a particular reason why you roll the yema balls in sugar? Seems like it would already be pretty sweet with all that condensed milk. More sugar sounds like overkill.

    I do realize that Pinoy sweets tend to be tooth-achingly sweet… but it would be nice to get away from that.

  28. Connie on Fri, 15th Dec 2006 10:41 am 

    Marissa, some people just don’t know how to read, I guess. They like to take the easy route by asking that the recipes be sent by e-mail. It can be irritating because the recipes are already given in the blog.

    Anyway… the sugar is for texture. And so long as the mixture is not overly sweet, the sugar coating doesn’t become an overkill. :)

  29. Marissa on Sat, 16th Dec 2006 2:04 am 

    Thought you might have used the sugar so the yema doesn’t stick to the paper.

    BTW, did you know that someone published your recipe on another website without any attribution to you? Same ingredients, exact same procedure. But the name of the author is “Lydia”. Here: http://www.ex-designz.net/recipedisplay.asp?rid=1485

    Pretty rude to publish a recipe without credit to the original author. But I suppose people think anything on the web is in the public domain and can be reproduced with no respect to authorship…

  30. Connie on Sat, 16th Dec 2006 8:26 pm 

    Time to get in touch with that forum’s owner again, Marissa. Most of the recipes there are plagiarized. I’m not the only victim. They steal from Del Monte, Maggi…

  31. Marissa on Mon, 18th Dec 2006 9:04 am 

    Hi, Connie.

    Just wanted to let you know — I used your recipe as a starting point but pushed the coconut theme a bit further and came up with a sort of yema coconut macaroon.

    I added evaporated milk and one more egg yolk in an attempt to make it less sweet. I mixed nonfat dry milk plus about 3 cups unsweetened coconut flakes into the condensed milk mixture. Then I rolled the yema balls in more coconut flakes instead of sugar.

    I think it’s still a tad too sweet but I can tweak it a bit more next time.

    Thanks for the inspiration!

    Marissa

  32. lalay on Fri, 22nd Dec 2006 1:04 am 

    hi ms connie. i will make this recipe for christmas day lunch para pandagdag sa dessert, para picar. thanks for so many nice recipes!

  33. Catherine on Sat, 23rd Dec 2006 7:57 am 

    Hi there,
    Where will I be able to find those small paper cups?

  34. Connie on Sat, 23rd Dec 2006 10:33 am 

    Marissa, I guess the coconut would be okay if you’re not very particular about the smoothness of the texture.

    lalat, you’re welcome. :)

    Catherine, in the supermarket.

  35. Fooby on Fri, 29th Dec 2006 1:06 am 

    Hi Connie,

    Thank you very much for your great recipes. I would like to know if it’s possible to substitute the coconut cream powder with canned coconut milk? Medyo mahirap hanapin ang coconut powder sa states and the canned coconut milk is more readily available. Please help as I would like to prepare this recipe for the New Year.

    Thanks,
    Fooby:razz:

  36. Connie on Fri, 29th Dec 2006 1:40 am 

    Fooby, since you will be adding more liquid, you might have to change the proportions of the dry ingredients.

  37. abbey on Sun, 14th Jan 2007 5:29 pm 

    i’m so happy that i’ve come across your yema balls. actually, im looking for pastillas but i think yema is as good. i will try your yema and taste if its as good as they say it is. i’ll tell you about what i think after i taste it. i’m sure it would be delicious!!:razz:

  39. clara on Sun, 21st Jan 2007 6:22 am 

    hi! i tried your recipe for the yema today and i was wondering if it’s possible to not add the coconut milk powder.

    i’m not really a cook and i made several mistakes with the cooking procedure but i guess i’ll try until it’s perfect ^_^

  40. Connie on Sun, 21st Jan 2007 2:35 pm 

    clara, “i was wondering if it’s possible to not add the coconut milk powder.”

    yes, of course.

  41. cacai on Tue, 23rd Jan 2007 12:20 pm

  48. Connie on Mon, 12th Feb 2007 1:52 pm 

    ZeroOne, thank you so very, very much for posting that comment. Sana naman tablan yung mga iba dyan.

  49. Yasmeen on Mon, 19th Feb 2007 4:34 pm 

    Hi connie,

    Tanong lang po tungkol
    Sa YEMA BALLS puede bang coconut milk powder ang gagamitin???

    Thanks a lot…:smile:

  50. Connie on Mon, 19th Feb 2007 8:07 pm 

    Yasmeen, re the coconut powder. If you use more water, it’s coconut milk; less water, it’s coconut cream.

  51. vance on Wed, 28th Feb 2007 6:29 pm 

    hi,

    is it possible to cook yema without eggs and the other ingredients. Just condense milk and unsalted nuts?

  52. Dadz on Wed, 14th Mar 2007 9:40 am 

    :smile:

    good day!

    pwedy ho bang mkahingi ng mga recipes tungkol sa mga ibat ibang uri ng pastillas….

  53. Katrina on Fri, 23rd Mar 2007 11:31 am 

    is it 1 1/2 cups or 1/2 cup or 1- 1 1/2 cups of condensed milk??? im confused… i used to make this with my grandma and i would sell them at school:smile:! you know how filipinos are…:wink:

  54. mariecris on Sat, 24th Mar 2007 9:28 pm 

    why you don’t send recipes? :roll:

  55. Connie on Thu, 29th Mar 2007 2:58 am 

    Dadz, hindi pwede. Kung ano meron dito sa blog, yun na yun. Wala kang sekretarya dito.

    It’s one and half cups, Katrina.

    mariecris, because I don’t tolerate lazy people.

  56. Kaye on Wed, 4th Apr 2007 4:00 am 

    Hi Miss Connie! Thanks po for the great recipe…I was searching for Yema recipes recently and accidentally saw your Yema recipe and I tried it po and it really taste good! Although dinagdagan ko po yung measurements kasi I need to make more ngalang sad part po eh di kamukha nung ginawa mo na pwede mong iroll. In my case po dumidikit sa kamay :(…any suggestion po para next time eh kuhang kuha ko na yung right texture? I acknowledged your recipe sa blog ko.. thanks again Kaye :)

  57. Kaye on Wed, 4th Apr 2007 10:26 pm 

    Hi Miss Connie! I was looking for Pastillas recipes online when I accidentally bumped into your Yema Ball recipe. I tried it and I would say that it taste great! Thank you for the wonderful recipe. Although I had a littile problem because it does not look exactly like yours. dinagdagan ko po sa measurements nya coz I need more dahil papadala ko po sa tita ko sa US but the problem is dumidikit po sya sa kamay pagniroll :cry:…any suggetion po para medyo kumapit ng konti? And can I add a link of your site to post for my specific post sa blog ko regarding po sa Yema recipe nyo? tnx much and hope to see more recipes! More power po…Kaye :smile:

  58. Joy on Thu, 5th Apr 2007 12:50 pm 

    hi ms.connie! i’ve been reading your blog for quite some time now, and i always read the comments too! i praise you for patiently taking time to answer all your readers’ queries, and i know how you feel that some readers keep on asking for recipes to be send to their mails.

    i’m just wondering, maybe whenever they see the entry, they don’t know that it is only the first page, and there is another page that they just have to click to see the recipe. they may have thought that you are just relishing your cooking experiences that is why they always ask for the recipe.

    they are actually not lazy (i assume!) they just don’t know how to read. guys! page 1 2 means that they are 2 pages, you are currently reading page 1, click number 2 and presto! the recipe is there…

    thansk ms. connie for sharing dishes in an easy way. really a great help for me as new wife and a working mom!

  59. Connie on Fri, 6th Apr 2007 9:13 pm 

    Hi Joy, re “they just don’t know how to read”

    LOL That’s worse! Anyway, I enlarged the text of the pagination links and hope they’re big enough not to be missed. I also changed “Pages” with “Go to page” with arrows at the end. Plus, I have reminder on the submit button to make sure they read the notice above it before posting their comments.

    If they still do what they do, nang-iinis na lang talaga yang mga yan.

  60. stephanie on Mon, 28th May 2007 10:13 am 

    hello connie, nakakatuwa naman at marami ka ng followers, isa na ko dun, first time kong tinry ung chicken wid misua soup mo, nag-uunahan ung mag-ama ko sa left-over kinabukasan, i guess masasarap ang mga luto mo, nagki-clippings na ako…

  63. Jose on Mon, 18th Jun 2007 9:54 pm 

    I am a hispanic American who is tired of the women in this country. I was in the Philippines in 2005 and fell in love with the country and the people. I work with this pinay nurse who is the love of my life. They say a good Filipina is hard to get and it’s true. I have spent the last year trying so hard to win her over. I decided to try someting different to show her I am always thinking of her. I made her some casava which is her favorite. She was really impressed. I am now going to try the yema balls as I remember she brought some back home from her last visit to the Philippines. I would appreciate any recipes for deserts and treats that will help me win her over. If I don’t get to see her at work during my busy schedule then I send it to her by mail with a note. Yes she’s that amazing! Thanks for the recipes. ~Jose C

  64. Connie on Tue, 19th Jun 2007 7:27 am 

    That is so sweet, Jose. Good luck! About desserts and treats… she has a sweet tooth, eh? Just dig into the archives. :)

  65. ching on Mon, 25th Jun 2007 1:26 pm 

    hi connie.. want to try ur yema balls recipe coz my nephew wants to sell yeam in their school but i wonder if they can able to afford the price since the ingredients are quite expensive.. is there really a need of an egg?

  66. Connie on Tue, 26th Jun 2007 1:35 pm 

    ching, i’ve been told that traditional yema recipes don’t contain eggs. i’ve never tried them though.

    re expensive ingredients. well, see, the recipes in my blog are all meant for my family’s enjoyment, not for selling. so i don’t scrimp.

  67. eigea on Sat, 30th Jun 2007 10:49 pm 

    is it ok pag gagawa me yema i will use lng 1 egg and 1 condensed milk kz expensive yung nki2ta q sa web dmi req. n egg..

  68. Connie on Tue, 3rd Jul 2007 7:09 pm 

    eigea, if you can write the last part of your comment in proper filipino or english, i might be able to help you. i don’t read text lingo, sorry.

  69. Janet on Wed, 4th Jul 2007 3:11 am 

    Hi Connie!

    I made this last saturday and this is sinfully GOOD! I have to stop myself from eating a lot of it. My son loves it so much kailangan itago ko yung iba kasi di maganda sa kanya too much sugar. Anyway, I was planning on making this as Christmas presents kase sarap tlaga. Thank you so much and God bless!

    p.s. do you think its possible if I can dip it in chocolate para coated chocolate yema balls sya?di kya mag melt?

  70. Connie on Wed, 4th Jul 2007 7:31 am 

    Hi Janet. What a decadent idea! hahahahaha Hindi naman siguro matutunaw. The same technique is done using caramelized sugar and it comes out fine. Caramelized sugar would have to be of a higher temperature to coat the yema. Chocolate need not been that hot so long as it’s melted. :)

  71. Jose C on Thu, 5th Jul 2007 10:25 am 

    I live in Miami so I was able to find what I believe to be the powdered full cream milk in one of the latin markets. Just says dry powdered milk, I hope that’s the same thing. I’m having a difficult time finding this coconut cream powder though. I have only found coconut cream in a can, a liquid. What about this caramel I keep hearing about? Can I roll them in the caramel instead of the sugar? Do I cook the sugar myself or can I just buy a tub of caramel? thanks JC

  72. Connie on Fri, 6th Jul 2007 7:58 am 

    Jose, that’s caramelized sugar, not caramel syrup. The kind that hardens as it cools. That kind of yema is widely sold in Laguna but I haven’t tried doing it myself.

  73. ellen grace albaran on Tue, 24th Jul 2007 12:57 am

  75. Michael K on Wed, 1st Aug 2007 5:38 pm 

    Hi Ma’am connie, I live dito po sa Texas, wala po akong mahanap na coconut powder. puwede po bang coconut milk? If so, what would the ration be?

    What about iyung powdered full cream milk, parehas lang ba siya ng powdered milk, pwede bang Nido? Thank you po!!!

  76. Connie on Wed, 1st Aug 2007 8:23 pm 

    Jaycee, bakit hindi mo na lang i-click yung link sa page 2 para makita yung recipe?

    Michael K, full cream milk is cow’s milk. It will taste different. If you use coconut milk in liquid form, the mixture will turn out too soft. You can just omit the coconut cream powder.

  77. Digna P. Alba on Sat, 4th Aug 2007 2:49 pm 

    Good afternoon!

    Thanks for the recipes. I came across your blogsite searching for yema balls; i promised my 2 kids who are adiccted to yema. So instead of buying. i guess i’ll try cooking it. I decided to choose your recipe ‘coz it’s eay to follow and the amount of ingredients is just enough for us 3 na kakain (i hope so, hehehe)

    For your readers and visitors, well, i do hope they print the recipes themselves ‘coz you allow naman printing the recipes. (For readers: it’ll eat ms. connie’s time if she’ll send and email recipes and it will defeat the purpose of sharing this blogsite with you if you’ll not be able to get the recipes yourselves …)

    More power to you. Thanks again :)

  78. Noime Campbell on Wed, 29th Aug 2007 11:20 pm

  80. Connie on Tue, 18th Sep 2007 2:48 pm 

    am not familiar with preservatives, m0nsi, sorry. besides, they were meant for home consumption so, you know, they were consumed within the day.

    Hi Connie! Marissa is correct, I just visited the website showing yema balls recipe…… The only difference is that you use a “small saucepan”, while that LYDIA was using a “small cooking pan”….. all else were exactly as your recipe!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!
    Does that LYDIA think by changing that single item legitimizes her plagiarism???

    Hi Connie,

    I’ve been visiting your site for a quite a while now and I must say that I really love your site. Very USER-FRIENDLY, great recipes, easy how-to especially to someone like me whose cooking knowledge extends only to frying. As in fried egg, hotdog and fish.

    I made these yema balls and it was such a success. My brother kept teasing me that finally I’ve made something that’s really MASARAP.hehe Because of the success of Yema balls, I’m thinking of giving it as a giveaway for christmas.

    I’m thinking of trying some of the more complicated special recipe this coming christmas since we’ll be hosting the traditional family christmas party this year.

    Thanks so much and more power to you!

    hi connie,

    i tried cooking your yema balls for my two year old daughter but i used skimmed milk powder as i couldn’t find full cream milk powder here in UK, know what it still came out delicious! thanks to your wonderful recipes.

    hi conniee.
    well i just had made some yema balls..
    they’re really great..my family & I love it..
    but i used skim milk instead of cream milk?
    i coudnt find it..
    anyways..
    thank you for the recipe..
    i hope theres more! =]

  94. mich on Sun, 4th Nov 2007 4:18 am 

    oh my… tita connie… grabe… naiinis ako. as in. PEOPLE LOOKING FOR YEMA BALLS RECIPE, OR ANY OTHER RECIPE FOR THAT MATTER, GO TO PAGE 2. ANO BA?!?! STOP ASKING FOR THE RECIPES! ANDYAN LANG!!!
    okay, now that has been said and done, tita, it’s true, i can’t find coconut cream/milk powder here in the US and also, I know you use Birch Tree for your milk. Would Nido be a good equivalent? I want to make this with my son. I like having him help me even if he’s only two so that he gets acquainted with the joys of cooking from an early age. I love to cook and bake and I used to have time to do both before my son was born so even with a busy schedule, I want to share my passion with him. Buti na to do easier recipes like this, easy for him, easy for me, lalo na with work and school… Mahirap walang asawa hehehe Just kidding. No but tita, thank you for your great website. It is a real inspiration and a very, very big help, especially to young, busy mom’s like me.

  95. Elle on Mon, 5th Nov 2007 3:18 pm 

    hi ms connie! buti n lng nagbasa muna ako bgo nagtanong kng immix ba yung coconut cream powder..as is pla sya na immix sa condensed not dilluted in water, right? just verifying..thanks..Godbless..

    hello, connie>>>

    thanks sa recipe for the yema balls. will definitely try it. good idea as xmas giveaway din…
    by the way, to the person asking is the yema balls can be dipped sa chocolate…you can because it won’t melt. i dipped my pulvorons in chocolate and it looks okay naman.

    Please read s l o w l y and p r o p e r l y para naman maintindihan yun instructions na no email…newbie lang ako, but how come i was able to grasp the idea of no recipes….sayang lang yun blog if most of your queries are “pls. send …email me…ek ek”…ano ba? di ba ms. connie? haaayyy…onli in the pilipins…

    Hi Ms. connie,

    Is that Coconut powder is same with coconut cream powder? I did yema balls but i used the coconut powder i am confused, please advise.

    Thanks

  107. kja on Sat, 5th Jan 2008 10:43 pm 

    I have already tried making yema n ndi mxado complicated.d ingredients are just a can of condensed milk, ground peanuts, and ground biscuit (optional). Masarap xa.iiinit lng ang condensed milk,iha2lo ang peanuts at biscuit hanggang sa lumapot ang mixture,then ila2gay s wax paper.

    Hi there, please send me a complete procedure on how to make that yama balls. it seems to be so easy and i can also sell it to ohters. Please i need the complete recipe asap. thanks!

  112. anne on Wed, 9th Apr 2008 4:56 am 

    I can’t believe how many people ask you to send them the recipe. READ PEOPLE!! she has told so many people, IT’S ON PAGE 2!! Geez! This is my first time seeing your blog and after seeing the picture of your yema balls, I wanted to see the recipe. All I had to do was keep reading, then noticed the link for page 2, clicked on it and low and behold, the recipe! It was that easy to find. heehee Thank you for sharing this recipe. I am now craving for it and will have to try it soon!!

    By the way, for some that may have been asking to have the recipe sent to them because they want the recipe, PAGE 2!! heehee If you want it sent to your email because you don’t know how to get it from the website, highlight the recipe, right click and copy. Open wordpad or whatever, paste and print!! Easy as that, it’s not rocket science.

    Sorry, it was just getting ridiculous and I’m sure you’re tired of people asking to email them the recipe.

  113. Shoshana on Sun, 27th Apr 2008 3:15 am 

    I’m thinking that it’s about time that my daughter get a taste of yema. We’re going to make some today, except I have no powdered milk in my whole house. None.

    So, tomorrow it is.

  114. yui on Wed, 14th May 2008 8:45 am 

    Hi Connie. I`m so glad i found you site again when I did a yema recipe search. Been trying to look for this site ever since my first visit. I noticed you haven`t answered your reader`S comment for some time now. I hope it`s not because of those who keep bugging you to email the recipe. I don`t know why they can`t just print the recipe themself. Maybe they can`T use the PC properly?:D
    By the way great recipe. haven`t tried it yet but I know it will turn out really good. I`m not familiar with coconut cream powder either but i`ll try to look for it,or just omit it like you`Ve said. Thank you for the wonderful recipes and I hope to hear more from you again:) some comments above are quite cute and inspiring like Jose`s. Just ignore the unpleasant ones^-^
    More power to you

  115. SARAH GALICIA on Thu, 22nd May 2008 11:50 pm 

    Read yesterday your entry on YEMA BALLS and made it today and it was YUMMY! Ma’am Connie…you are the bridge that helps us ( Filipino’s abroad ) tastes and eats the usual ” Pinoy Food”. GOD BLESS you and your whole family.

  116. E on Thu, 29th May 2008 6:10 am 

    Thank you so much, our yema was a hit! My daughter even asked if I can change the wording of my print out to “my 6-year old daughter” instead of your “11-year old daughter”, she too had consumed a lot before we even finished!

    By the way, this site has exactly the same recipe:
    http://www.ex-designz.net/recipedisplay.asp?rid=1485

    I hope they had your permission.

    Thanks again and more power.

  117. racquel on Fri, 6th Jun 2008 7:12 pm 

    Hi Connie, Maybe you could enlarge more your “HOW TO USE THIS SITE”, baka sakaling mabasa nila yong instruction kung pano makuha ang recipe. Baka mga naduduling lang sa pagbabasa…. ;) Ang KUKULIT!!!

  118. joanne on Sat, 14th Jun 2008 2:53 pm 

    hi! i just now stumbled upon your website and i find it very educational and entertaining as well (what with all those people asking you to email them and your “taas-kilay” replies!!haha!).

    anyway, i haven’t tried any of your recipes but i will soon…thanks!!

  119. Olivia on Sat, 19th Jul 2008 10:13 pm 

    I tried your recipe and I’m so glad I found this while surfing the net. We had a few cans of condensed milk expiring so I was looking for a recipe for Yema. Your recipe was yummy and easy to make. Thanks so much for sharing!

  120. mickey on Wed, 13th Aug 2008 7:09 pm 

    Funny people, just go to page 2!
    Hi ms. c! I love your site, i already did two recipes (chicken in sour cream and chicken and mangoes in yogurt) and was blown away *exagg ata..* basta I felt like a chef, haha. Anyway, I wanted to ask something, we don’t really have a stove, me and my buddies just cook pancit canton and de lata before, haha. hmm, can I heat the mixture using a frying pan…? sorry for the ignorance, newbie alert.

  121. Connie on Wed, 13th Aug 2008 7:41 pm 

    A frying pan will do so long as the mixture does not spill while stirring. But you’ll still need a stove to heat it. :)

  131. Connie on Sun, 14th Sep 2008 2:06 am 

    katrina, re “pls send me the exact amount of ingredients!”

    Why do you have to ask that when I have already published the recipe here?

  132. Krystelle on Fri, 10th Oct 2008 6:25 pm 

    Tita Connie may tanong lang po ako,,, yun po bang RICE POWDER at RICE FLOUR ay iisa??? pls pakisagot po thnx po ulit..
