Prepare the batter
- In a mixing bowl, combine 57g melted butter, 2 eggs, 119ml evaporated milk, and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
- In a separate mixing bowl, sift 272g all purpose flour, 200g sugar, ½ teaspoon salt and 1 tbsp baking powder.
- Next, pour the wet ingredients gradually to the dry ingredients and mix until well-combined.
- Strain the mixture to remove any lumps.
- Add 22g of grated cheese into the mixture and set it aside.
-
Steam the Puto
- Grease the muffin containers/molds with butter, and fill the containers with about 3/4 full of the cheese batter.
- Using a steamer, pour 500 ml of water and bring it to a boil.
- After the water starts boiling, place the muffin containers in and steam for about 10 mins, or until the toothpick comes out clean after poking the Puto.
- Top the Puto with sliced cheese and steam for another minute, or until the cheese has melted
Plate and Serve!
Cool at room temperature and serve it with extra cheese if you like it extra cheesy.
