Broas

I've been looking for Broas in the supermarket for days.  I usually see the commercially baked Broas in cans but  I like the ones from Quezon, maybe I should go to Market! Market! and buy.... I only want a few pieces, not a whole can because I will end up eating all of it. 

Mona said the other day, she and Corry were eating Broas with fresh butter! So, ever since then ... I've been dreaming about it.

I have decided to bake my own.  I got the recipe from Recipe of the Philippines by Enriqueta Diaz-Perez.

Broas

3 egg whites 

3 egg yolks

1 + 5 T. sugar

8 T. flour, sifted

2 T. powdered sugar

Beat egg yolks with 1 T. sugar until light and fluffy.

In another bowl, beat egg whites until bubbles are fine.

Add the rest of the sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.

Add the eggwhites in 3 installments to the egg yolk mixture using the cut and fold method.

Add the sifted flour. Cut and fold again.

Transfer into a piping bag with a big round tip.

Pipe onto a lined baking sheet (parchment paper or Silpat).

Sprinkle powdered sugar on the broas.

Bake for 10-15 minutes at 375.
