These look really good and easy to make. It’s a very simple bread dough (essentially French bread) that is fried and coated with granulated sugar. I want to try this next weekend.
Hi Joe….isn’t it interesting that this simple bread and sugar treat covers all cultures. In my Italian heritage we call these tasty ? treats Zeppoli. I’m going to make these and most likely eat them all!!! Enjoy ?
THIS IS ‘chakoy’ in Albay being peddled in the afternoon during the 50s.
Many thanks!
Hi thank you for sharing your recipes I miss eating shakoy. My mom used to cook this when I was little but sadly my mom is already gone and I didn’t memorize her recipes. I am glad to found your blog I will cook this tomorrow thanks and god bless you
I surely miss shakoy. When our neighbor makes them in the afternoon, almost all the kids in the neighborhood gather together and wait for newly fried shakoy to buy. 🙂
