1. RECIPE OF PALITAW Palitaw means "to surface" and this refers to the flat oval-shaped pieces of rice dough floating to the top of boiling water once they are cooked. This easy palitawrecipe is for making 20 servings.

2. PROCEDURE FOR MAKING PALITAW 1. Combine the rice flour and water in a bowl until a smooth dough is formed. 2. Form small balls, each an inch in diameter. Then flatten the balls to a quarter-inch thickness by pressing your thumb in the middle and stretching the dough to make it oval-shaped. (Alternatively, you can use a rolling pin to flatten the dough out and then use a cookie cutter to form oval or round pieces.)
