Biscocho, also spelled biskotso (from Spanish: bizcocho), refers to various types of Filipino twice-baked breads, usually coated with butter and sugar, or garlic in some cases. Biscocho is most strongly associated with the versions from the province of Iloilo, although it actually exists nationwide in various forms.[1] It is also known as biscocho duro, machacao, or matsakaw.[2] It is also historically known as pan de caña (literally "[sugar]cane bread").[3]
