Sugar Twists/Siakoy/Pilipit/Linubid


Another recipe from Leslie Ruelan. He shared three of his favorite Filipino snack recipes with me (after he added my supersoft ensaymada to his favorite recipes).  Thanks, Leslie!

Ingredients:

5 tbsp. yeast
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 c warm water (to be used with the yeast)
1/2 c oil
1/2 c sugar
2 tsp. salt
6 ~ 7 c bread flour
1 c milk
3/4 c water

Instructions:
1.) mix yeast with the 1/2 c warm water (set aside)
2.) mix all dry ingredients first before placing all the remaining ingredients
3.) knead the dough for about 10 mins. (if using the manual method)
4.) cover the dough and let it rest for 10 mins.
5.) cut and roll the dough like you're making ensaymada then twist it as shown in the picture
6.) let rise for 1/2 hour or more depending on the size you want
7.) deep fry the twists on medium heat until golden brown
8.) remove and let the oil drip by placing it in a wire rack
9.) when its not too hot anymore, you can dip in a bowl of sugar* or use a zip lock with sugar then shake.

*Note from me: You can make vanilla sugar by placing a vanilla bean pod (cut in half) inside a jar of sugar.

  14. Hi! Re the above recipe is 1/2 c sugar and 1/2 c oil intended for the dough or
    are they for frying and for coating the pilipit?
    I am not good in baking but I once in a while try some pinoy recipes I like.
    Maraming salamat!

  15. Hi Anonymous,
    Yes they are part of the dough. Hope you enjoy this!

  16. Hi again! Shall I include 1/2 tsp sugar to the
    yeast-water-mixture?
    And 1/2 cup sugar for the dough, I supposed

    ReplyDelete
  17. Hi Anonymous,
    Yes, that is correct. That 1/2 tsp of sugar is to feed to the yeast in creating the foam.The 1/2 cup sugar is for the actual taste of the dough.

  18. hi is this right? 5 tbsp of yeast...seems to be too much...but anyway ill try...

    ReplyDelete
  19. what is let rise?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Anonymous, let rise means let the dough rest so that it doubles in size.

  21. hi, why is there no egg in the recipe? just curious ^_^

  22. Hi Anonymous, egg is not necessary, although you may add eggs per your preference. :)

  23. hi manang,
    tuwang tuwa ako nung makita ko ang blog mo. naghahanap kasi kmi ng asawa ko ng recipe ng Siakoy at yung nakita namin ay hindi maganda ang resulta, matigas ang labas. susubukan namin ang recipe ninyo! :) at pwede po bang ilagay sa bread machine(dough cycle) ang ingredients instead of manual kneading? salamat ulit!

  24. Hi Anonymous,
    thanks for your comment. Kung plano mo gamitin yung BM, baka umapaw. check mo yung capacity ng BM pan mo. Siguro, hatiin mo yung amounts ng ingredients. :)

  25. Dear manang,

    Quick question, can I use all purpose flour instead? Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Hi ricavega,
    Sure you can! Less chewy than bread flour (less gluten formation)...means it will be softer. Just eyeball how much (you might have to adjust depending on how wet or dry the dough will become).

    1. nicko, sorry, I am not a Filipno food historian. I just want to recreate Filipino foods in an American rural area where buying them is not an option.

    1. parchment paper may be a better alternative. Kahit walang harina, hindi dapat didikit yan. Jut make sure merong enough space in between each siyakoy/

  34. Hi manang are you sure that is the right recipe? upon reviewing the ingredients I noticed that the yeast is too much and the liquids are less. I mean for 6-7 cups of flour equivalent to that less of liquid the dough will be as hard as rock and noticed that there's 2 diff. sugar measurement yang 1/2 tsp of sugar kelan sya gagamitin at ang 1/2 cup kelan din gagamitin? hope ma review mo eingredients at measurement kasi gusto ko I try please at salamat..
