Filipino Recipes - Buchi method - Pinoy Food

You can ask kids from the provinces what a buchi is and they will all tell you it is a delicious snack. It's one of my favorites when I was still a schoolgirl and I love it until now. As a mom, I prepare it at home sometimes for my house to enjoy this delicious and chewy merienda (Tagalog word for snack). You can also serve it as a sweetmeat but most Filipinos take it during snacktime.

It is very easy to prepare and anyone who has tried frying can do it. I used to think that it is hard to get it perfect. But when I tried it (using my aunt's recipe), it was exactly how I wanted it to be. Just the same as the buchi that I bought from the school canteen when I was still a exiguous girl.
