Binangkal

Binangkal is a traditional doughnut-like snack originating from the islands of Visayas and Mindanao. The dough is usually made with a combination of flour, milk, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, sesame seeds, and oil. The dry and wet ingredients are mixed and the dough is divided into small balls. The dough balls are rolled in sesame seeds, then fried in oil on both sides over medium heat. Once done, the binangkal is drained on paper towels in order to absorb oil, and it's then served warm, often with coffee or hot chocolate as an afternoon snack.
