Bite My Tongue

While blog hopping, I chanced upon Kusina ni Manang. And I loved that she tried to making Philippine goodies abroad. So I was inspired to make Lengua de Gato (Cat's Tongue). It's been a while since I had one and I haven't tried making these in the past.

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/3 cup sugar
  • 4 egg whites (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups all purpose flour, sifted
Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Prepare baking sheets by greasing them.
2. In a bowl, mix the softened butter with the sugar. Add the egg whites carefully.
3. While mixing, add the salt and vanilla.
4. Lastly, fold in the flour. Pour the mixture into the piping bag.



Since I don't have a pastry bag, I used a plastic and cut off one edge where I inserted the piping tip. It wasn't as sturdy as a piping bag but it was good enough.


I tried doing just one go and see how it will turn out.



This was the result:

So I tried removing the tip and doubling it:

It was a bit thicker and I loved how it turned out:

I guess I need more practice. I want it to look smooth like the ones you can see being sold commercially. We just moved and it might take me a week before I can post another entry here. Wish me luck!

    Wow! I love lengua de gato. It's been a while since I've eaten one. Fortunately I don't have the baking hands to do it maybe I'll just buy some on delicacy stores. Thanks for sharing! :)

    The idea looks like it's easy to make but it's actually really difficult. I wish I knew how to bake.

    Lengua de Gato! My favorite pasalubong from those who visit from Baguio.;) The recipe looks easy. I'd try it myself if only we had an oven here at home. Sayang! Ang sarap pa naman siguro matutong mag-bake ng kung ano-ano.

    Nakakatakam. Lengua de gato is one of my favorite Filipino snacks. I don't really go for baked goodies but I'll definitely taste this one -- if it's for selling. ;)
