Salukara is a type of pancake of the Waray people in Eastern Samar, Philippines. It is made with galapong (or glutinous rice flour), coconut milk, sugar, and water, the same ingredients to make the cake called bibingka. Traditionally tubâ (palm wine) is used as the leavening agent, giving the pancakes a slightly sour aftertaste, though standard baker's yeast can be substituted. They are cooked in a pan or clay pot traditionally greased with pork lard or lined with banana leaves. They are commonly eaten for breakfast and for merienda.[1][2]

Description

Salukara is a Filipino pancake, made with galapong, or ground rice flour.[3] Simple yeast is used as a raising agent, while some use tuba, or palm wine. Rice is used to make it, with native rice being used.[4] It is cooked in pans with pork lard.[5] It is then contained in banana leaves.[4] It tastes like bibingka, with a hint of puto.[6] It has been compared to American pancakes.[7]

History

Salukara was already a delicacy from the Spanish tenure, with ingredients unchanged.[4] Salukara was enjoyed by Ben Evardone, Eastern Samar's governor, House Representative Maria Fe and Actor Boy Abunda also enjoyed this dish. It appeared in television shows and festivals.[8] Salukara is regularly sold near populated places.[9][10] In July 2019, Salukara was one of the entries in the Can-avid town festival.[11] In December 2022, it was one of the entries in the Arteche town festival.[12]
