Ingredients
For Greasing the Pan (Panghilod sa Muffin Tin)
- ½ cup lard or shortening
- 2 tablespoons oil mantika
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour harina
For the Batter (Para sa Masa)
- 2 large eggs malalaking itlog, room temperature
- 1 can 370ml evaporated milk (evaporada), room temperature
- ¼ teaspoon salt asin
- 1¼ cups sugar asukal
- ⅔ cup vegetable oil or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract vanilla
- 3 cups all-purpose flour harina
- 3 teaspoons baking powder pampaalsa
- Yellow food coloring dilaw na pangkulay
Instructions
- First, prepare the greasing mixture by combining ½ cup lard, 2 tablespoons oil, and 3 tablespoons flour in a small bowl until well blended. Generously coat two 12-cup muffin pans with this mixture, ensuring a thick layer as this helps create the signature hat shape. Preheat your oven to 200°C/400°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat 2 large eggs. Add one can (370ml) of evaporated milk, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1¼ cups sugar, then mix until the sugar completely dissolves. Pour in ⅔ cup vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon vanilla, mixing until well combined.
- Sift together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 3 teaspoons baking powder. Add this to your wet ingredients and mix with a whisk or electric mixer until smooth. The batter should form continuous ribbons when lifted - if it's too thick, add water gradually until you reach this consistency. Add ¼ teaspoon yellow food coloring and mix just until evenly distributed.
- Pour or pipe the batter into your prepared muffin pans, filling each cup about ¾ full. Place in the preheated oven and bake at 200°C/400°F for 3-5 minutes, or until you see the edges rise and form a crater in the middle. Then reduce the temperature to 160°C/320°F and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes until fully baked. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center - it should come out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing. The middle part will have risen to create the signature dome shape. Transfer to a cooling rack and serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 24 pieces of Kababayan bread.
Notes
- Always use room temperature ingredients for better mixing
- The batter should form ribbons when lifted - if too thick, add water gradually
- Never open the oven door during the first 10 minutes of baking
- Test doneness with a toothpick inserted in the center
- Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing
