Salukara

Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes

Salukara is a pancake made by the Waray people of Eastern Samar in the Philippines. It is prepared from galapong, or glutinous rice flour, with coconut milk, sugar and water, the same basic ingredients as the rice cake bibingka. Traditionally tubâ, a palm wine, acts as the leavening agent and gives the pancakes a slightly sour aftertaste, though baker's yeast can be used instead. The batter is cooked in a pan or clay pot that is traditionally greased with pork lard or lined with banana leaves. Salukara is commonly eaten for breakfast and for merienda.
