What is Salukara?

Salukara is a delicious, soft pancake. It is made with simple ingredients. These ingredients are similar to another Filipino cake called bibingka.

Main Ingredients

The main things you need to make Salukara are:

How it Gets Fluffy

Traditionally, Salukara uses a special ingredient to make it rise. This ingredient is called tubâ, which is a type of palm wine. It acts like a leavening agent, making the pancakes light and airy. Using tubâ also gives the pancakes a slightly sour taste. Sometimes, regular baker's yeast is used instead of tubâ.

How Salukara is Cooked

Salukara pancakes are cooked in a pan or a clay pot. To stop them from sticking, the pan is often greased. Traditionally, people used pork lard for this. Sometimes, they also line the pan with banana leaves. This can add a nice flavor to the pancakes.
