Kababayan Bread

Kababayan Bread or Pinoy Muffins is a favorite classic corn muffin

bread shaped like sa “Salakot” or pinoy native hat. Back in my
childhood days these kababayan breads are so cheap. It is very
common in any bakery here in Philippines up to these days.

HISTORY
If the Philippines were to have a truly local cupcake,
this would be it. Pint-sized and moist, these gong-shaped
cakes made with condensed milk have a creamy
sweetness that could render any sort of frosting
superfluous.

WHY IS IT CALLED THAT?

The word kababayan literally translates to “fellow
countryman.” These baked goods resemble the straw hats
worn by Filipino farmers, who lifted them up in salute
whenever they bumped into each other. (Though if you
ask me, those little “hats” also look like the sort that belong
on this list.)
