Biko

My Lola Sion was an indefatigable cook. Here's her classic Biko recipe, from her original handwritten notebook:

Ingredients
1 salop na malagkit
½ salop na azucar
6 na niog
How to cook?
Isasing muna ang malagkit. Pagluto na ay ihalo sa gata ng niog na may azucar. Pakuluan muna ang gata at azaucar. Pag malaput nab ago ihalo ang malagkit. Halo ng halo hanggang sa maluto. Pag luto na ay ilagay sa bilao osa tray. Panipiosin ng square o diamond. Lagyan ng latik sa ibabaw.
Note: for every 1cup malagkit, ¾ cup water for cooking. Boil in separate kawali 1coconut milk of 1 niog and ½ cup sugar until it thickens. Put in the malagkit at haluin ng haluin hanggang maluto. In-inin. Put in a platter and flatten. Let cool for an hour and serve.
Variations: you may add young buco, pinipig or linga for better aroma
