Servings: 12 Slices
Equipment
- Steamer
- 6-7 inch tin
- Grater
Ingredients
Puto
- 1 Cup Regular Rice Flour
- ¼ Cup Sugar
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
- Pinch Of Salt
- 1 Cup Coconut Milk
- 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
Toppings
- 1 Tablespoon Melted Butter
- 2 Tablespoons or More Condensed Milk
- Gouda or Cheddar Cheese
- 1 Itlong Na Maalat (Salted Egg)
- Banana Leaf (Optional)
Instructions
Steam The Puto
- Have a steamer all set up with a container big or small enough to fit inside it. Depending on the type of steamer you have you may need to divide the batter in two.I used a 7 inch pie tin and grease it with coconut oil. Leave the container in the steamer.
- In a large bowl mix together the rice flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix well. Then add in the coconut milk and stir for about a minute. Leave to rest for 30 minutes and mix again for 1 minute before pouring into the greased container.A good thing to do before putting on the cover is to cover the cover. Meaning take a tea towel and tightly secure it around the cover. This ensure that the condensation is absorbed by the towel instead of dripping into the puto you are steaming.
- Steam the puto with the cover on for 20 minutes until cooked through.
Add The Toppings
- Once the puto is steamed take it out of the container and put it on a platter lined with banana leaves.
- Brushing on melted butter all over the top while still steaming hot.
- Then follow it with a few drizzles of condensed milk. Depending on your sweetness level, you can add more or less.
- Next using a fine grater, grate the cheese on top.
- Finally finish with finely grated itlog na maalat.
- Eat right away!
