Paborita

Paborita are Filipino disc-shaped biscuits with a flaky texture. They are made with wheat flour, sugar, skim milk, salt, baking powder, alum, and cooking oil. They are very similar in taste to galletas de patatas. They are traditionally eaten paired with hot drinks or with fruit preserves.

Paborita is the famous biscuit of the 68-year old Panaderia Pantoja, making it since 1950. Celinda Laurel Dimayuga (Tanauan) and Aurelio Maningat Pantoja (Balayan) used a "pugon" (clay brick oven). Spouses Arturo Dimayuga Pantoia and Marilyn Gonzales managed the bakery and mechanized it in 1970. Located in Sixto Castillo Street, Barangay Poblacion 2, Tanauan, Batangas, the heritage bakery is famous for traditional Filipino breads and biscuits.
