Yoyos, also known as elephant ears, are a traditional Filipino snack that is loved by people of all ages. These deep-fried pastries are made from a simple dough that is rolled out and cut into circles. They are then fried until golden brown and coated in a sweet glaze. Yoyos can be found in bakeries and street food stalls all over the Philippines, and they are a popular treat for parties and gatherings.
This article presents three different recipes for yoyos: the classic recipe, a chocolate version, and a ube (purple yam) version. The classic recipe is made with all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, eggs, and milk. The chocolate version adds cocoa powder to the dough, while the ube version uses ube extract and mashed ube. All three recipes are easy to follow and can be made with ingredients that are easily found in most grocery stores.
Once the dough is made, it is rolled out and cut into circles. The circles are then fried in hot oil until they are golden brown. After frying, the yoyos are coated in a sweet glaze made from sugar, water, and vanilla extract. The glaze gives the yoyos a shiny finish and a delicious sweetness.
Yoyos are a versatile snack that can be enjoyed on their own or served with a variety of dipping sauces. They are also a popular ingredient in desserts, such as ice cream sundaes and fruit salads. No matter how you choose to enjoy them, yoyos are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
YOYOS
My Mummy pleaded with me to make these, her grandma used to make them and she hadn't had them in so long. I took one each for my neighbour and her daughter and they loved them, took them to school and my friends demolished them and it was a fight over the last one. These are a true kiwi recipe, out of the Edmonds cookbook

Tips:
- To make the dough, you will need flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, eggs, and butter. Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start, as this will help the dough come together more easily.
- When mixing the dough, be careful not to overmix it. Overmixing can make the dough tough and chewy.
- If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour. If the dough is too dry, you can add a little more milk.
- When rolling out the dough, make sure it is about 1/8 inch thick. If the dough is too thick, it will be difficult to cook through. If the dough is too thin, it will be crispy and break easily.
- When frying the yoyos, make sure the oil is hot enough before you add the dough. If the oil is not hot enough, the dough will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- Fry the yoyos for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown.
- Drain the yoyos on paper towels before serving.
Conclusion:
Yoyos are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a quick snack. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect yoyos every time.
