I remember eating this Cebuano/Bisaya doughnut (or maybe it can be called fried bread?) whenever I visited my maternal grandma's home, about 50 kilometers south of Cebu City, Philippines.
I asked a favorite foodie and adopted mom of mine in Multiply - Mommy Loy - for permission to repost as I want to be able to access it if I make some in the future.
Thanks to Mommy Loy for sharing the recipe which I copied from her link, please click here to view it.
....and I also want to thank Chelo for starting the binangkal ball rolling on this...
Ingredients:
2 1/2 c. flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 c. brown sugar (some people swear Muscovado sugar is the best!)
2/3 c. water
2 tbsp oil
Sesame seeds
Directions:
1. Sift together dry ingredients.
2. Mix brown sugar, water and oil then add to the flour mixture.
3. Mix until its well-blended.
4. With a teaspoon, take small bits of batter (it depends on how big you want it to be), then roll in the sesame seeds.
5. Fry in deep hot fat until its golden-brown.
note though that binangkal may prove somewhat of a test to denture-challenged folks *wink*
ReplyDeleteI also remember trying to eat more than a day old binangkal, and my jaws hurt...
