I love ensaymada! It's one of my favorite snacks here in the Philippines, and I've been searching for ways to make one! I'd definitely try out this recipe so we'd all have something new to eat for tomorrow's snack time. Thank you!

Now I am craving for ensaymada when I saw this thread. It is a long time ago since I haven't eat this kind of pastry. I like this most with lots of grated cheese and salted eggs for its toppings.
