Mixing the Ingredients
Take the spice grinder and add the cinnamon stick to it. Grind it into fine powder. Keep it on the side. Make sure you do it just before making dough to ensure the aroma and fresh spiciness of cinnamon.
Then take a large bowl and add rice flour to it.
Push aside the flour and make well in the center.
Add all the remaining ingredients except colorful sugar in the flour well.
Stir to incorporate all the ingredients into one another.
Making the Dough
Wash your hands to make dough. It’s best to make the dough with your hands for a perfect and smooth texture.
Add milk to the mixture and make the dough until it can attain the shape of a large ball.
Divide the dough into equal parts.
Make 16 small balls of the dough.
Baking:
Take a baking sheet and line it with wax paper.
Place the dough balls on it and arrange them at equal distances.
Press the balls with two fingers to flatten them.
Sprinkle colorful sugar crystals (like pink) on all the cookies.
Bake them in the oven for 20 minutes at 350 degrees F. Alternatively, you can also check until they get browned.
Take them out of the oven carefully. Salpores De Arroz are ready. Bon Appetit!
