Recipe View 10 mins Cool and serve: Carefully remove the molds from the steamer basket and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Puto can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. (10 minutes)

For a richer flavor, try using melted butter instead of grease to prepare your molds.
If you don't have Edam cheese, cheddar cheese or even salted duck egg (itlog na maalat) can be substituted.
To prevent water from condensing and dripping onto the puto during steaming, wrap the lid of the steamer with a clean kitchen towel.
For a smoother batter, sift the flour before combining it with the other ingredients.

    I added a drop of yellow food coloring to the batter to give it a more vibrant color. It turned out great!

  • Arvid Schmitt

    I've tried other puto recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The texture is incredibly soft and fluffy.

  • Nora Tremblay

    The Edam cheese adds a wonderful salty and savory contrast to the sweetness of the cake. A definite crowd-pleaser!
