PUTO

Steps:

• Grease small cake, puto molds, or ramekins for use in a steamer. Mix the flour, sugar, and baking powder together in a bowl. In a separate, large bowl, scramble the eggs with the evaporated milk and water. Fold the dry mixture into the eggs until evenly blended. Fill the prepared molds 2/3 of the way up with the batter and top with shredded cheese.
• Fill a wok or a sauce pan that will hold a steamer basket with a few inches of water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Place the molds into a steamer basket and place over the boiling water and cover.
• Steam until a toothpick inserted in the center of one of the putos comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack and serve warm or at room temperature.

PUTO

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine rice flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until distributed.
• Add water and coconut milk. Stir until smooth and well-blended. Cover with film and refrigerate overnight.
• Lightly spray insides of puto molds with non-stick cooking or lightly brush with melted butter. Pour puto batter into molds until 3/4 full.
• In the bottom part of the steamer, add water and bring to a boil. Arrange filled puto molds in a single layer on the steamer basket. Place steamer basket over the bottom part. Wrap lid of the steamer with cheesecloth or any cotton material (to prevent condensation from dripping onto puto) and cover steamer.
• Steam for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
• Remove from the heat and allow to slightly cool and gently remove puto from the molds.

PUTO (FILIPINO STEAMED RICE CAKES)

Steps:

• Preheat your steamer over medium heat on the stove.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites, water, and coconut milk until fully incorporated.
• Sift the rice flour and baking powder over the wet ingredients. Use the whisk to mix all the ingredients together.
• Pour the sugar into the batter and mix to combine.
• Scoop the puto mixture into mini muffin molds to about ¾ of the way up. Place the molds into the steamer and cover with a lid.
• Steam for 8 minutes and remove the lid to see if the puto is fluffy and firm. If you would like to add cheese, cut the cheese into small ½ inch slices and place on top of the puto. Cover with the lid and allow it to melt for about 30 seconds. Remove when the cheese has slightly melted.
• Remove the puto from the steamer and let sit in the molds for 30 seconds to cool before removing them from the molds. Serve immediately.

• Add the sifted dry ingredients and blend until smooth.
• Strain the batter into another bowl to ensure that there are no lumps.
• Lightly brush a mini muffin tin with vegetable oil.
• Fill muffin tin ¾ full with the batter.
• Once the water in the pan is boiling, place the muffin tin in the pan and cover the pan with a lid.
• Steam the puto for 5 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the puto comes out clean.
• Once the puto is cooked, remove from the pan and allow to cool at least 30 seconds before removing from the muffin tins.
• Repeat steps 6 to 10 three more times, making sure there is enough water in the pan each time.
