Binangkal (Sesame Seed Balls)

I love Binangkal!

For those who are not familiar with this Filipino "bread," Binangkal  can be described as fried, sesame seed flour balls. It is popular in the Visayas and (some) Mindanao regions in the Philippines. If you haven't tried them, you should! They're a very tasty and filling snack.

Ingredients:

2 cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup milk

Sesame seeds

Oil for deep frying

Directions:

Heat enough oil for deep frying. 

Mix the flour and baking powder

Add the brown sugar. 

Add the milk and mix well. You may have to add more flour or milk to get the right consistency. 

Form into balls and roll in sesame seeds.

Fry the binangkal until golden brown.

Let the binangkal cool before storing in an airtight container.

Enjoy!
