Ingredients

  • 3 cups self- rising cake flour
  • 1 and ½ cups white sugar
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup quick melt cheddar cheese cut into strips

Instructions

  • Prepare a steamer pan that is about 12 inches in diameter by letting water simmer in the bottom layer.
  • Combine all ingredients except the cheese in a large mixing bowl. Mix using a wire whisk until everything is blended and mixture is smooth.
  • Line the steamer pan with a large sheet of aluminum foil. The foil should cover the entire bottom of the pan then up the entire sides, with about an inch or two over hang.
  • Pour the puto batter onto the foil-lined steamer pan and position it on top of the pan with the simmering water. Cover the puto , first with a clean kitchen towel that is pulled taut to prevent it from dipping into the batter, then with the lid.
  • Steam for 40-45 minutes. Once the sides are set and the middle is a little wobbly, arrange the strips of cheese on the top surface of the puto and steam for another 10-15 minutes, or until puto has completely set. Remove cover, and let puto cool before moving to a serving plate.
