Salukara is a type of pancake made by the Waray people in Eastern Samar, Philippines. Its ingredients are galapong (or glutinous rice rice flour), coconut milk, sugar, and water, the same as a cake called bibingka. Traditionally palm wine (palm wine) is used as the leavening agent, giving the pancakes a slightly sour aftertaste, though standard baker's yeast can be substituted. They are cooked in a pan or clay pot traditionally greased with pork lard or lined with banana leaves. They are commonly eaten for breakfast and for merienda.
