Hi there,

Your walnut drops recipe was brilliant.

My mother used to make them for my son every Christmas. She passed away in May 2009. This Christmas I decided to follow the tradition and make them myself. Thanks to you they turned out real well. You helped us to relive our memories of mum!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Keep up the good work.

I'm not from India but from the Philippines. We have a similar delicacy called bibingka - probably came from the same origin... The migration of Indians to the Philippines many centuries ago

I've only just discovered this site and can safely say that the effort put here to not lose our tradition is invaluable. Tell us if there is anything WE can do to help you. Is there a way we can at least donate towards your good cause? :o)

hi Clyde, i am really looking forward to trying this recipe. just need to clarify one thing though, why do you need to filter the batter through the muslin cloth?

2009-04-10T03:48:00.000-07:00

Hi Clyde, I loved the pictures but you know what... one more picture of the bibinca when completed (out of the container) showing all the layers & sliced would have been really nice!! Maybe you could still add it here. Though I have been cooking for the past 28 years the pictures are really helpful & anybody trying this out for the first time has all the steps with pictures. I am going to try this tomorrow & will post a comment on how it came out. And hey, if I get fed up I will just cook every layer on the stove & throw it over the other!! I'm sure it will taste as good! Lorraine

2009-03-05T05:39:00.000-08:00

@ Edward, the thing is my oven doesnt have a setting for the top heat it has just one setting while the lower one has a choice of temperatures. Its a medium setting, a setting that takes 40 minutes.

@ Anonymous, my mother says its possible for a single layer to seperate after baking and that could be because of less ghee. Perhaps you have gone wrong somewhere, if you could leave a more detailed explanation would like to help you out!

But according to my experience a person who tries this recipe out and fails would not be cribbing about 10 egg yokes but would crib about the amount of time consumed in the procedure that would keep you busy all day! 10 hours is more expensive than 10 yokes for me :)

And my mother would not want you to waste your time nor your yokes! God bless you :)

No I mean on a low flame in the Oven, it does not have to be on the gas. Sorry for the confusion Ed, hope you enjoy your Bibinca.

Cheers,

2008-11-11T14:28:00.000-08:00

after the base layer , do you bake each additional layer or do you place the mixture on a flame ? if you bake each layer, at what temperature do you bake it ? I got confused because you talk about cooking each additional layer for 40 minutes on a low flame ?

thanks ed

2008-11-11T14:26:00.000-08:00

i had a quick question, after the base layer, do I need to bake each additional layer or do i cook each additional layer ? i got confused because you speak about a low flame for 40 minutes ?
