Shakoy is basically a sugar-covered doughnut, but as I mentioned in the video, Filipinos don’t eat it for breakfast we usually eat it as a dessert or a snack. So when I was in middle school and we had breakfasts at school, someone brought in doughnuts and I was really surprised because I grew up eating doughnuts as desserts. Anyways, these are delicious and it’s a must-try. Let me know if you guys make it! Happy Baking.
