Today, I thought I bring you a recipe from the other side of my cultural heritage. Bibinka is a popular Filipino recipe. My auntie Cecil is famous for her Bibinka and it is one of the staple dishes she will offer guests at her house.
There are a lot of different variations of Bibinka. This is my first attempt of making it and I was delighted how easy it is and how well it worked out. I brought these along to a Filipino friend who invited us for dinner as a dessert and, after eating far too much for main courses, still found room for the dessert as it was so nice!
