Polvorón

[2] Polvorones are popular holiday delicacies in all of Spain, Hispanic America, the Philippines, and other Spanish-influenced countries around the world.

[3] In the Philippines and Puerto Rico, mantecado is a popular traditional ice cream flavour, characterised as a mixture of vanilla and butter.

It was served during the 29 September 1898 luncheon banquet that followed the Malolos Congress' ratification of the Philippine Declaration of Independence in June that year 1935.

The Filipino version of polvorón (sometimes spelled "polboron" or "pulburon") is made from toasted flour, sugar, powdered milk, and butter or margarine instead of lard.

Though usually compressed and shaped by round or oval tin molds and individually wrapped in colorful papel de japón or cellophane, it can also be eaten in its toasted powder form stored in jars.
