every week my dad buys five bottles of pure cow’s milk from an old lady who loves stopping by our house. well the only cooking that i do with the milk is to boil it, add two pinches of salt for my dad’s mug and sugar for me. i want to try making pastillas out of them, can anyone please share me how to?… merry Christmas everyone!

Hello,

I happen to know the owner of Sitsirya Sari sari, the one selling this pastillas de leche in a bottle..

They have just informed me that they are producing this one using COCO SUGAR, which is a kind of sugar which is very good for diabetics.. I haven’t tasted the sugar yet but it’s like that of a light brown muscovado sugar..

They are selling the COCO SUGAR as well in their stalls.. pricey compared to regular sugar or even muscovado, but it is about the same price of Splenda..

Pls check out the stalls of Sitsirya in Tiendesitas, Market Market, Greenhills, and Festival Mall. Thanks!

man, that just made my mouth water. still haven’t found a supplier here for water buffalo milk — the water buffalo ranchers don’t seem to want to share the goodies and just keep selling yogurt and mozzarella, GRRRRRR….

I just remembered MM. You know, I used to make my pastillas flavored with orange or lemon. I haven’t made it for so long I almost forgot about it!! I was still in my 20’s when I first made them. Admittedly though, I would use tang for the orange flavour since I couldn’t afford real oranges. I swear it’s great. My friends loved it! But this time I think I’ll make some using the calamansi marmalade. Hmm….

Hmmm…am sure it’s good. Reminds me of my own pulvoron. I don’t bother wrapping it. Mine is always best spooned from a reasonably-sized container (it wouldn’t be enjoyable when one’s blood pressure shoots up ‘no?)while relaxing. Sort of melts in the mouth, too. None of the all powdery stuff. So I guess, next time I make pastillas de leche I’d do the same na rin. Hmmm….

And yes, I think it will be a nice filling for just about anything. My thinking exactly Candygirl and MM. Something citrus-y mixed in to add some verve.

I’ve seen the jar too but I like the sugary crust that forms outside those small fingers of pastillas de leche. I wonder if the spoonable PDL can be use as an empanadita filling (with a citrus rind mixed in)?

MarketMan, by the way, I’d really like to thank you for this food blog.. Last night I cooked dinner (It was my first time ever to cook for people since I only “cook” for myself), and I tried your recipe on the Cream Dory in Lemon Butter Sauce, I didn’t exactly use dory or an equivalent creamy fish, yet we have got 1 kilo of white fish fillet in the fridge so I thought that recipe of yours would be wonderful.. and it was! They absolutely liked it..

Thanks MM..

MarketMan, have you tried adjusting this pastillas de leche in a bottle? Adjusting in a sense that adding the dayap like you want it to?
