Bibingka Recipe

This Philippine snack is a traditional one being sold beginning September until January. Others may have different version of it by adding other ingredients and the manner of presentation. At home, I usually preferred to put more cheese and salted egg for a more delicious and tasteful bibingka.

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/4 cups coconut milk
• 3 beaten eggs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 piece salted egg, sliced
• 1/2 cup grated cheese
• 1/2 cup melted butter to baste
• 1/2 cup fresh grated coconut

Cooking procedures:

Mix sugar and coconut milk, then add beaten eggs. In a separate bowl mix the flour baking powder and salt. Combine the two mixtures and pour into a pan lined with banana leaf.

Add the cheese and salted egg and bake in 375 degrees over for 25 minutes, basting with butter every five minutes. When fully baked sprinkle with sugar and add grated coconut to surface. Serve while still warm.
