Espasol Roasted Glutinous Rice Flour Snack 1 1/2 cups glutinous rice flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 cup diluted coconut milk 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon salt Lightly roast glutinous flour in a non-stick pan over medium heat until light brown. Set aside. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, boil the sugar, coconut milk, vanilla and salt. Add the roasted glutinous flour. Blend and stir constantly with a wooden spoon until mixture is thick and dry, forming it into a ball. This process does not take long. When done, transfer mixture to a board dusted with the remaining roasted glutinous rice flour. Flatten mixture using a rolling pin to 1/2 inch thick and cut into rectangles.
