A recipe for puto.

Puto is a traditional Filipino food. I’ve never cooked this but you might love to try this because it tastes good. I got this recipe from our home economics subject way back in high school.

Ingredients:

3 cups ground rice

3 tbsp. baking powder

1 cup coconut milk or water

1/2 tsp. anise

1/2 cup refined sugar

Procedure:

1.Soak the rice in water for 5 minutes.

2.Mix the ground rice with baking powder.

3.Prepare the steamer.

4.Put the mixture into the molders. Fill molders until 3/4 full.

5.Steam for 15 to 20 minutes.

Makes 20 to 25 servings. Top with cheese if desired.

    When do you put the anise, sugar and coconut water/milk? This recipe is sorely lacking.

    I’m glad you said you can use water instead of coconut milk as I can’t stand coconut milk. Sounds like a good recipe although I need to go and find out what a “steamer” is. I’m assuming it’s not what we call a pressure cooker? (ie a pan that cooks things with high pressure steam)

    Sounds good love sweetened and spiced up rice.
    I tried to pronounce this out loud and felt dementiated.

    WOW.. This looks like the ‘IDLI’ of south India. Similar food items are found in the our place.
