Oatmeal Raisin with Golden Raisins, diced Apple and Walnuts. Commercial cookie; those crispy ones that come in a green paper bag, the Chocolate cookie with Chocolate Chip. Also pretty much any Shortbread.
Chances are the original recipe did use lard, not butter. Cow (beef and milk) products are mostly imported in to the Philippines , due to limited pasture land, and especially back then, it was usually canned or dried milk products. Imports were halted during the war, so it can be assumed that ingredients like butter were not readily available. Lard was used also as a way to preserve meats, especially during the war. My grandmother was also a home economics professor, like Maria Orosa during that time in the Philippines and my family told of efforts to get food to prisoners of war. Thank you Emmy for sharing this recipe and the history, as well as your beautiful fresh eggs!
Recently came across the channel Jolly and I like the things they are trying but the reactions are so extra and don't seem genuine. I've never seen a person in my life respond to Panda Express with O faces. Love Emmy and FutureCanoe for having very honest and varied responses instead of just OOOOOO every time
change. change, Emmy. change how you insert a 2 minute advertisement for overpriced mattresses at the start of a baking video. Nothing ruins an Emmy video like an Emmy mattress/furniture advertisement at the start of the video. grrrrrrrrr
I honestly love how you give thanks to your chickens 🐓 for giving you eggs 🥚, I would love to have chickens someday,but we are living in an apartment at the moment so my love for raising a few chickens will have to wait .
I was today yrs old when I learned brown rice becomes white rice by polishing off the bran. 😮 I'm almost 53 and never knew that. Emmy always says she hopes we learned something.
Its done because of lectins and phyctic acid that cause digestive problems and leech minerals out of your body, not worth the small amount of vitamin b.
There's a hatchery in the Midwest called Murray McMurray that has been in business for 110 years now and they do heritage chickens and trying to keep breeds alive so if you want to buy some babies you should get them from them
6:29 I remember when you first got that mixer and you were shocked by how fast it was on the low setting. Now, even though you know what it's going to do, you still get that little bit shocked expression, 🥺 when it starts so fast.
Oooohhh even as a Filipino, I didn't know they were called tiki tiki cookies because they come packed unlabeled in a lot of our local sari-sari stores (like mini convenience stores/grocers) 🤔🤔 Thank you, Emmy!
I love how she takes the time to explain the backstory of each har time recipe! I get to learn so much from your videos :) Keep the good work up, we love you!
She called it “Tiki Tiki” cookies but for Filipinos it is called “Darak Cookies”. Grandpa used to work in a factory for Tiki Tiki. He used to buy Rice Bran from Bulacan province then it has to be pressed with water for the extract.
WOW! I'm from the Philippines and this is the first time I heard of this. When you said it's from out country, I thought the tiki-tiki means has the vitamins meant for kids called tiki-tiki and that it's used to feed to malnourished children. I did not expect rice bran at all! I did not even know you can eat those. They're for pigs though recently, with our rising rice prices, people online would joke about eating these.
I've never heard of half of American recipes I see. I am convinced it's only their family making things and they want everyone to start eating it too lol
I've been catching up on your more recent episodes. I saw the "life saving" but not the "tiki tiki" part and when you mentioned that in the video, my spidey sense was tingling. Could it be a Filipino war time recipe? Mad props to Maria Orosa for making all these recipes that seem really applicable to our current times.
I love the brief history you provide with your Hard Times recipes. It's always cool to learn a little bit about how resourceful people can be when under pressure. We underestimate ourselves sometimes.
We still use bran to feed pigs. You can buy them from rice millers. It's funny that we're giving all the nutritious bits to the pigs and leaving the boring carbs to the humans.
I am another fan of "hard times" cooking (& other solutions)! 🌟💖🎉 The cookies sound very pleasant! (especially in times of scarcity) I always find it ironic when your sponsor is Helix. It matches the mattress ads that saturate all your videos (currently)
Wow! That's so interesting and amazing. Ms. Orosa was a true heroine. Thank you for sharing the history of these cookies. I want to make them, and share the history behind them, in honor of her courage and lifesaving work. I love seeing your eggs. I raised chickens for many years, and also had other poultry at times. Guinea fowl, turkeys, and ducks. I had many breeds of chickens, so I too, had a rainbow of egg colors. I always enjoyed having the multi color eggs.
Love Emmy. She's the friend everyone wants even if they dont know they need. Her Vid's just bring me Peace and I always learn something!! Going to look further into this one to see if it can become Celiac friendly. ❤❤❤ When she mentioned "shortbread" knew it was right up my Alley and thought some of the Family members with the Gluten Allergy would enjoy them. ❤❤ God Bless Emmy ❤❤
What great sandwiches, they ĺook great & can't wait to re-try them. I've had boþh kinďs since i was a little girl in the 60's. So, i know how great they are.
My goodness those eggs are STUNNING! 😍 My cousin’s girlfriend has chickens and they lay some of the most beautifully colored eggs I’ve ever seen. It’s truly quite incredible.
Lard is actually a very good fat for hungry people.. it is actually probably a much better fat than butter. I wonder if you could use wheat brand for these cookies?
If Lard was used they'd still be fantastic, I've been baking with it more recently and have been loving the results. ETA: Duck Fat and Beef Tallow can be substituted but I haven’t really experimented with them yet.
Duck fat will be very meaty and has a similar melting point making for a softer end texture. Tallow has a significantly higher melt point ending in flakier textures and it can also have a rather beefy cast to it.
When using a spoon instead of a scoop to portion cookies, try using a second spoon to help shape and push the dough off the spoon. You'll get smoother cookies and no messy hands.
Will you please make Leche flan? My Lola made it and it was the best I ever had. My mom says it’s so hard to get it right. I love your tutorials so I’d love to see you make it. It’s philipino dessert.
I enjoyed hearing about your chickens! I have Easter eggers and Buff Orpingtons! I know it's outside your normal scope for video topics, but I would love to see them and hear more!
Cudos to Maria Orosa for her part in the war effort to save the captured 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 %;I wonder how many actually made it to the prisoners? Great background story too. We really need better teaching of world history. Emmy did your boys & husband like the cookies? Will you make them again?
@emmymade please make vanilla wafers from scratch and make a vanilla pudding with them. These cookies looked just like vanilla wafers too! That's what made me think of it lol
💛...btw, would you consider doing an episode on sweet onions?...there's a lot in season right now and i'm looking for ideas to use them...vidalias, sweet d's, walla wallas, maui's etc...thanks...(ethnic uses, regional uses, that kind of stuff...)...
Thank you for this video, I much prefer these kinds of more videos “serious” videos compared to things like cooking in a trash bag which just seems… unnecessarily making things more difficult/weird for the sake of being weird. I prefer it when your videos are more educational than just plain silly!
Yum! Look delicious. A dollop of buttercream to make sandwich cookie would be delicious also. Looking up Maria’s story on Wiki. Thank you, and Stay well! Muskoka ON 🇨🇦
I thought you were going to make "dirt" cookies, cookies made from dirt or ash as ingredients because I saw something about what people ate during hard times and dirt cookies was one of them These cookies sound much nicer to eat they are healthy for you and rice bran is easy to get hold of ( next to the oats in the supermarket usually on the very bottom shelf )
First, thank you for the egg show-and-tell! How pretty! Also, I wonder if anyone else fast-forwards past the preview intros you do these days? Pasta Grannies does it now too, and I always turn away. I want to be surprised by the journey of the video, not jump to the end product right away. Maybe it’s just me…but thought I should let you know. I appreciate your channel and you!
