Palitaw (from litaw the Tagalog word for float or rise) is a small flat sweet rice cake eaten in the Philippines. They are made from malagkit (sticky rice) washed soaked and then ground. After excess water is let out from the grinding process scoops of the batter are rolled and the flattened to disk shapes and dropped into boiling water where they float to the surface as flat discs – an indication that they’re done.
