Today I’m going to tell you more about my new find – the Binangkal. These fried dough balls coated with sesame seeds are quite similar to doughnuts and originate from the islands of Visayas and Mindanao in the Philippines.

What is Binangkal?
Bingkal are popular Filipino sweets often called fried bread sesame balls prepared by combining flour, milk, vanilla extract, baking powder, sugar, sesame seeds, and oil. The dough is then divided into small balls, rolled in sesame seeds, and fried over medium heat. My tip is to try to serve them warm for extra fresh soft Binangkal!
