Buchi or butsi is a sesame seed covered pastry made from glutinous rice flour with bean paste filling. It is another favorite Filipino dessert which is an adaptation of the Chinese Jin Deui.
We all love buchi…and yesterday, I tried making buchi for the first time. Instead of the commonly used red bean paste, I used ube (purple yam) paste for the filling. I was able to make 20 pieces of buchi…and now, they’re all gone!
Such a delectable treat that is crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside! It’s really worth a try!
