Barquillos (Wafer Rolls) are a popular snack in the Philippines. They are made of flour, sugar, butter, and egg whites, and have a crunchy and sweet taste. They can be stored for a long time, which makes them easy to make in bulk and a great snack to share with family and friends. The traditional way to serve them is to use them as a spoon for ice cream. They can also be crushed and used as a topping for cakes and other desserts.
