Hopia is a Filipino pastry snack with filling and covered with a flaky crust. The famous brands of hopia in the Philippines are Eng Bee Tin and Polland.
There are a variety of fillings for hopia. The most common is monggo (mung bean) and ube. For the adventurous foodie, you can also try the custard , pandan and ube queso flavors.
This is one of my husband's favorite snack and so whenever someone is going to visit us in Vancouver, he would ask them to bring hopia.
Making hopia is a little complicated at first because you are making 2 doughs. They are quite similar in composition but still slightly different. The more practice in making this recipe, the more you will be able to perfect it.
It is also handy to use a round cutter to have a uniformed size.
