Can anyone recommend a good local active dry yeast? And where to buy it? How about Fleischmann’s Yeast? I tried looking at Rustan’s but they have been out of stock for a while now.
Thanks!

sunflowii, yes, the hinayupak ensaimadas are still sold at the market. They often get sold out by 8 or 9 am. They are at a stall with other dishes from Pampanga, not sure if it even had a name. They are fairly close (across) from the French food stall.

Is the Medina ensaymada still being sold at the Salcedo Market? Was there on my recent trip back to Pinas. Didn’t see it but perhaps it was marketed under a different name? Didn’t see the super thin piayas either, just regular piayas.

to all kitchen aid mixer users, meron ba kayo naencounter while mixing the ensaymada dough nag-iinit yun mixer at mukha na hihirapan mag mix. i encountered this, once lang naman yet sa takot ko baka mag overheat so i manually knead the dough instead.

Crissy, these are large, notice how they take up a large portion of a normal dinner plate up above. The small individual sized ensaimadas sold in malls are a paltry representation of their ancestors… An ensaimada should be big, in my opinion. :)

Revisited the Saveur recipe after drooling over those ensaimada pictures. Did I read the recipe right: 7 cups of flour= 10 ensaimadas? Are these the individual sized buns or enormous breads? Any clue? Thanks.

Can I ask you where I can buy Queensland canned butter. I remember it from my youth, and I’ve googled it and can’t find it for sale anywhere. I’m in the US, and I’ll take any suggestions. Thanks.
