Easy Puto Cheese Recipe
This Easy Puto Cheese is so soft, fluffy, light, and definitely better tasting than the store brought Puto mix in a box but equally easy to make and more affordable.

1 large saucepan
1 steamer
Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon refined salt
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- 1 teaspoon cooking oil to brush puto molder
Instructions
- In a large bowl, sift and combine together all purpose flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine milk, egg and butter. Mix until well blended.
- Combine the two mixture together. Mix until well combine but do not over mix.
- In a pot, boil enough water to steam few batches of puto.
- Grease the bottom of puto molder with oil and transfer them into a steamer. Pour batter into the puto molder until ¾ full.
- Steam puto in boiling for 10-12 minutes in medium heat until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Notes
Recipe Notes:
No steamer? No problem! You can bake this puto cheese in the oven using a water bath method. A water bath is just a pan of hot water placed in the oven, into which you put the baking dish that contains the food you need to cook. Steam-bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the toothpick comes out dry when inserted.Nutrition
