Panimos

Panimos are a type of pastry originating from the Philippines. They are typically made from a dough that is either fried or baked, and filled with a sweet or savory mixture. The dough itself can vary, sometimes incorporating ingredients like mashed banana or sweet potato to give it a distinct texture and flavor.

Common fillings for panimos include shredded coconut sweetened with sugar, cheese, or sometimes seasoned ground meat. Sweet varieties are often dusted with sugar or coated in a glaze after cooking, while savory versions might be served with a dipping sauce. The shape of panimos can also differ, ranging from simple turnovers to more intricate folded designs.

The preparation methods and specific ingredients can vary from region to region within the Philippines, leading to a diverse array of panimo variations.
