Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rice flour
- 1.5 cups Coconut milk
- 1 cup Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine rice flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together coconut milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and water until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing continuously to ensure there are no lumps. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick.
Prepare your steamer by bringing water to a gentle boil. Grease individual puto molds or use silicon cupcake liners to prevent sticking.
Fill each mold or liner about 3/4 full with the batter to allow space for rising.
Place the filled molds into the steamer, ensuring they are not tightly packed to allow steam circulation. Cover the steamer with a clean cloth under the lid to prevent water from dripping onto the puto.
Steam over medium heat for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a puto comes out clean.
Once cooked, remove the puto from the steamer and let them cool slightly before gently removing them from the molds or liners.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy these delicious dairy-free puto as a snack or dessert!
