Puto | A Simple But Delicious Filipino Snack

Puto is a steamed rice-cake. Its texture is spongy, and depending on how you cook it, may also be fluffy. It is a staple Filipino snack and I've been eating puto as far back as I can remember. It's usually something my mother would buy from the market during the weekends, and I remember how I paired it with Ovaltine for breakfast back then. I would slice the puto with my spoon then dip it into my warm drink. How I loved it.

I learned how to make Puto in one of our Home Economics classes in high school, and since today is Friday, I'll share the recipe I have.

My Ingredients

• All-purpose flour
• Baking Powder
• Milk Powder
• Sugar
• Melted Butter
• Water
• Grated Cheese

What I do

Put the flour (sifted), baking powder, milk powder, and sugar, together in a large bowl. Mix well. Add the melted butter. Add water. Mix until smooth. Pour into molds. Be sure to leave some space and not fill it to the brim. Top each with grated cheese. Steam for 10 minutes. Serve warm.
