Cascaron

Cascaron is a Filipino doughnut made of deep-fried ground glutinous rice, grated coconut, and sugar.

They are commonly ball-shaped and are sold on skewers, but they can also be elongated, pancake-shaped, or doughnut-shaped.

[1] The name is derived from Spanish cascarón ("eggshell") due to its common spherical shape and crunchy exterior.

It is not to be confused with cascarón, which is a hollowed-out chicken egg filled with prizes derived from the same term.

It is known by numerous other names, depending on the region, including carioca and tinudok.
