Inipit Recipe


This is a re-post from my other page...Inipit translated to English means "pressed", is a flat sandwich pastry that originated from Malolos, Bulacan. Inipit is two slices of sponge cake with custard filling in which Eurobake is known for. It started as Panaderia La Concepcion in 1945 in San Vicente, Malolos. The original inipit was introduced to the public by the late Salome P. de Ramos. The recipe of the original inipit is a well-kept family secret. So, I am on a quest to find the best inipit recipe that will be close to the taste of how I remembered it from La Concepcion from San Vicente, Malolos. That is how I was introduced to this delicacy back in the nineties. I have found three different recipes for the filling so far, and I have tried one, it taste good but I feel that I might tweak the recipe next time. I'll post the recipe for now but I am determined to come close to the taste of Eurobake as I go along and will definitely update this post too...Promise! I hope you guys will enjoy it just like we do.
