The Municipality of Liloan is a town located in the northern part of Cebu. It offers a number of places tourists can visit if they get the chance to drop by the town. Similar to other towns on the island, Liloan also celebrates the Rosquillos Festival every year. The festival highlights the product that has contributed to the local economy and brought honor to the town.

The Rosquillos is a circular cookie that resembles a donut since it has a hole in the middle. It is made of flour, sugar, eggs, baking powder and shortening. Its origin can be traced back to 1907 when Margarita “Titay” Frasco created the crunchy cooking with the ingredients she had in her kitchen. Using her egg beater, baking tins, and clay oven, Titay created what became one of the best-loved delicacies in the town.

Rosquillos is a cookie, designed as ringlets or with a hole at the center resembling a donut but crispier though. It is a concoction of flour, egg, sugar, shortening and baking powder. Yet, though the ingredients are so simple, but only in Liloan one can savor its best quality. Somehow, there must be other ingredients that are kept hidden for years why these cookies are so delicious for a nibble.

Liloan repeatedly amazed the crowds with their extravagant parade of rosquillos in their very own “Rosquillos Festival”. It is celebrated every 29th and 30th days of May, in cognizance of its patron saint, San Fernando Rey.

Rosquillos is directly associated to Liloan. This native specialty has become a favorite snack for all ages. Through the festival, rosquillos was introduced into a wider patronage. No other products that brought much pride and prestige for this humble town of the north. Read More: http://christophercanete.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
