• boñelos aga

  

  These are banana donuts. Or doughnuts, whichever you prefer. The recipe is from Guam, but I added a few ingredients that are usually not in the original recipe, like vanilla extract and cinnamon. There is another traditional donut recipe that utilizes a specific yam instead of bananas, but that kind of yam is difficult to […]

  Hello! What a long week it has been! How is everyone? I don’t know how it feels for other food bloggers, but sometimes for me it feels rather odd to blog about something like pastry cream when there are a number of serious current events in one’s country and around the world. Does that make […]

     Milk Buns. Milk bread is the literal translation. Not that there is a lot of milk in it; there is only 1/2 cup. But it is soft and white and reminiscent of milk. I like how soft and fluffy these are. You can probably make this without the vital wheat gluten, but it may get […]

• Chamorro Style Empanadas (Chamoru Empanadas)

  

  This is the empanada I grew up with. Not that I ate a great many of them; I probably have only eaten 10 of these in my life. And I’ve never made them. Until now! If you are not familiar with these orange colored, deep-fried beauties, they may seem a bit odd. Unless of course, you are Chamoru, or […]
