Uraro

[3][4][5] It is also called galletas de Lilio (Spanish for 'Liliw biscuits'), after the town of Liliw in Laguna, where it is a regional specialty.

The flour is then mixed with rendered lard, duck egg yolks, sugar, and milk.

[1] Modern uraró, however, are usually made from arrowroot flour, sugar, milk, margarine (or butter), and eggs.

Both of these versions usually lack the melt-in-the-mouth quality of traditional uraró made with pure arrowroot flour and lard.

[1][6][7][8] Uraró are traditionally sold in cylindrical stacks wrapped in colored crêpe paper (papel de Japon).
