Espasol

V'nut-Beyond Redemption's Note:

This is the same espasol sold in the streets when we visited Jose Rizal’s home in 1984. An old and authentic traditional Filipino recipe. I never timed myself so I don't know how long it takes to make them.

The recipe turned out dry and crumbly, but after modifying with a bit more coconut milk/sugar mixture, the consistency turned out right. Add toasted flour gradually to avoid this. You can roll the espasol in the leftover cooked flour instead of the 1c sweet rice flour.
