Puto (Steamed rice cake)

By popular demand, I am sharing our Puto recipe.



Ingredients:

1 lb + 4 tbsp rice flour
2 cups sugar
14 oz coconut milk
14 oz milk
14 oz water
3/4 tbsp yeast in 1 cup warm water
1/4 cup butter, melted

Directions:

Using a wire whisk, mix water with flour and sugar.
Add melted butter.
Add risen yeast.
Mix well until  bubbles appear.
Add the rest of the ingredients.
Let the mixture rise for 30-45 minutes (or until the mixture is heavy in consistency).



Pour the mixture into small steam cups. Arrange cups in one layer of steam pan.
Steam each batch for 10 minutes.
Let cool a bit before removing puto from the cups.


Serve warm.
