This is an excellent snack for kids and grown ups too. Sugar twist in English and shakoy or lubid lubid in Filipino dialect. Is an all time meryienda in my country where you can buy it on the streets, public markets or even in some bakeries. I used to make this recipe when I was in the Philippines as a snack for my visitors, family, church gatherings and business too. Yes! I was a small time businesswoman. I made shakoy and cupcakes for business, I sold them to schools and offices. Now that I am here in the US of A, I would still make shakoy occasionally as a snack for family and church gatherings. Boy! my hubby fell in love with it and takes it to work. A lot of my American friends love it too and asked for the recipe. This is best when served warm, match it with your hot coffee, hot chocolate or any cold drinks. I hope you guys enjoy this easy to make recipe. Even your kids will enjoy making this with you
Here's what you need:
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt

5. Punch down and divide it into 24 portions
6. Roll each portion into a 10 inch cylinder and twist like a rope

ReplyDeleteHi Josephine,
DeleteAmbot ngano nigahi man ang imuha. If you let it rise for 30 minutes before frying it, it will be softer. Try na and let me know how it went.
