Kababayan is one of the breads I regularly enjoyed in my childhood. Growing up, I spent weekends at my mom's ancestral home, where I would run around playing with the neighborhood kids until I was called in for a nap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the afternoon siesta, the adults in the house would send my cousins and me to a nearby panaderia to pick up a dozen monay<\/a>. The warm bread made a tasty and filling merienda with a generous filling of Chez Whiz, but I would always get a piece of Kababayan muffin as my special treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Kababayan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kababayan, which literally translates to fellow countryman<\/em>, is Pinoy sweet muffin known for its golden brown exterior and distinct domed top shape. It got its name due to its resemblance to a salakot<\/em>, a native straw hat Filipino farmers and townspeople wore when out and about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's a popular bakery item and traditionally enjoyed for breakfast or as a midday snack with a choice of hot or cold drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making the batter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The key to making great-tasting muffins is the proper mixing. Overworking the batter can cause tunnels in the interior and a tough texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
