How To Make Barquillos

Barquillos are a beloved Filipino treat, known for their delicate, crispy, and cylindrical shape. These thin wafers are made by pouring a light batter onto a hot griddle and quickly rolling them into tubes as they cook.  The resulting treat has a wonderfully crisp and brittle texture, snapping easily with each bite.  Barquillos offer a subtle sweetness, often enhanced with a touch of vanilla or other delicate flavorings, allowing their crispiness to be the star. While enjoyed throughout the Philippines, they are strongly associated with regions like Iloilo and Bacolod, where you might find local variations in size, thickness, or flavor.  Perfect on their own as a snack or dessert, barquillos also add a delightful crunch when served alongside ice cream or other sweet treats.
