Instead of the usual ube chiffon cake we, Filipinos are used to, I baked a pound cake  using boiled ube (purple yam). This ube pound cake had a heavy, rich texture.

This is one of the most iconic symbols of the holidays in the Philippines, although the ensaymada is available year round, too. Since I cannot find any good ensaymadas here in America, I started baking my own batch. The two-day process may seem tedious at first, but once the buttery buns are out of the oven, you will realize it was all worth it. Bake them ahead, freeze and reheat them for a more convenient pace. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-ensaimadas-filipino-brioche-buns-with-butter-and-cheese/feed/ 8 4814 https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-buko-coconut-pie/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-buko-coconut-pie/#comments Sun, 03 Aug 2014 01:00:36 +0000 http://asianinamericamag.com/?p=4588 ]We live 50 miles west of New York and folks often ask me to recommend the best Filipino restaurant in the city.

The original ones from Singapore have a pastry that is shaped like a round floral cookie, and the pineapple filling is in the center. I don't have the traditional pastry mold for these tarts, so I baked these shaped like mini, round empanadas. These tarts had such an intense buttery aroma, that I won't wait till next year to make them again. This recipe was adapted from the site FreshFromTheOven. Makes about 18 bite-sized pieces.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/pineapple-tarts-treats-for-chinese-new-year-lunar-year-of-the-dragon/feed/ 21 1164
