have you riders heard of hotcakes? it is a filipino version of pancakes in the philippines! in so many places, pancakes are served for breakfast! but in the philippines, not only you see them at the breakfast table, but you can also serve it as a (morning and afternoon) snack (yes! filipinos love to snack-- but that's a different story)!
it is a popular street food in the philippines! not only because it is very inexpensive, but also because it is super easy to make. it's thin and fluffy and also has that egg yellow look in it. you can add food coloring, but to me it doesn't really matter as long as the taste is just as good as i can remember. it definitely was my favorite snack growing up.
if you have a sweet tooth, this is definitely for you! not only are hotcakes sweet, you also have to smother it with margarine or butter and sprinkle with lots of sugar before serving! yum!!
