Bakpia or Hopia (In Chinese means 'good pastry' - the name it is ... Ube hopia or hopyang ube is a variant of hopia from the Philippines which use purple yam. Hopia has thin flaky pastry traditionally filled with bean paste which I am not a fan of. 
I find Ube Halaya or puple yam jam a perfect filling for this pastry. Ube is very popular and personally I love everything with ube.

This recipe is actually not hard to make. The process makes 2 dough that is rolled together which makes the crust flaky. So it is very important to follow that step. The dough for hopia is a little oily compared to a pie crust but that is what we want for hopia to achieve it's thin flaky crust. Delicious!

On this recipe, I used my Ube Halaya or Purple yam jam recipe. To save time, you can also purchase a ready made Ube Jam in a bottle which readily available in the market.

Hi. I apologize for the late response. For some reason I didn't see this comment right away. Di ako nagcocosting. I currently reside in the US and hindi ko alam ang prices sa location mo. I suggest to check the prices and estimate mo cost ng bawat measurement. Kahit 5 days or more basta store sa airtight container para fresh.

MHello! What can be the alternative for lard or vegetable shortening? Can I use butter instead? Thanks!

Hi. I am not sure if butter will work. Pwede ang butter kung mga pie crust ang gagamitin. It might work you just have to try.
