My Mom and I spent some quality time together making these recently. She would tell me stories on how her Mom (my Lola) would make her and her brothers and sisters roll these for hours when they were kids living in the Philippines. They hated it so much because all they wanted to do was just play outside with their friends. But, now she took that skill and handed it down to me. So, this is a very special recipe as it has been handed down from generation to generation.
Spending this quality time with her and filling and wrapping each one of these is truly the definition of made with love. One thing to note is that you can always make these ahead of time and freeze until ready to use. They are a great make now, eat later freezer item.
