Buchi

This is my first time making this at home. Thanks God I made it perfect. Recipe credit to a good friend. Thanks for teaching me patiently.


Ingredients:

•3 cups glutinous rice flour
•½ cup rice flour
•1 cup sugar
•1 ¼ cup water
•½ cup sesame seeds or as needed
•Choice of filling (chocolate, jam, sweetened beans, etc)
•Cooking oil for deep frying
•Extra water pang dip

Procedure:

1. Dissolve sugar in water.
2. Ihalo ang dalawang rice flour at dahan dahang ibuhos ang water dito habang minamasa.
3. Scope flour mixture or the so-called dough at bilugin. Then flatten on your palm at ilagay ang filling at i-seal at bilugin ulit. Ulitin lamang hanggang matapos at maubos ang flour mixture.
4. I-dip ang nabilog sa extra water at ipagulong sa sesame seeds. Quick dipping lang po para lang po dumikit ang sesame seeds at di matatanggal once we'll fry them.
5. Fry by batch until golden brown in low heat. Low heat lang po para di titigas ang buchi. And before putting buchi, dapat kumukulo na sa init ang oil. You can test by dropping sesame seeds on the oil or isang kurot ng dough. And to get the perfect bilog ng buchi, dapat di basta basta ihulog yung buchi sa oil, put it first on a spoon or sandok and ilubog kasama ang sandok, saka nyo na po bitawan ang buchi after seconds.
