Is a classic delicacy of Tausug adapted from Malaysian cuisine. They call it bahulu, baulo or baolo. The taste is slightly similar to french madeleines but with a twist.
To make it authentic, you can add Royal Tru Orange or Fruit Juice to give it a slight kick of fruity flavor. Use coconut milk with dessicated coconut in addition to the batter. And to make it authentic you need to use their traditional moulds and cook it in Pugon (traditional oven).

- 1 1/2 cup flour (sifted)
