As the name already implies, Biscocho is obviously another one of those Spanish-influenced snacks that Filipinos have embraced and assimilated.
The word biskotso itself seems to be a Filipinized version of the Spanish “bizcocho” which literally means “biscuit.”
Biscocho Recipe has its counterparts in the Hispanic and Latin American countries, with varying similarities to our recipe.
In the Philippines, Biscocho is typically associated in the Visayan province of Ilo-Ilo wherein the bread is baked to a toast then topped with butter or margarine, sugar, and garlic (which is optional).
However, because of the mobility of the Filipinos, this Biscocho recipe has been brought over to the country’s different regions.
