Method
- Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt, then work in egg, butter, and just enough water for a firm, rollable dough.
- Knead only until the surface smooths, then cover and let the dough relax for 30 minutes.
- Roll thin, cut, and form the traditional patterned Hantak pieces.
- Fry at medium heat until crisp and evenly golden, then drain on a rack.
- Simmer sugar, water, and calamansi until slightly syrupy.
- Brush the fried pieces lightly with syrup and immediately toss with dry toasted coconut.
- Leave the coconut-coated pastries uncovered until completely cool, then seal them in an airtight container.
