Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Rice flour
- 2 tablespoons Baking powder
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Vegan cheese
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Prepare the steamer by adding water and bringing it to a boil. Grease small muffin or puto molds with vegan butter and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, rice flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the coconut milk, water, melted vegan butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well mixed.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a smooth batter forms.
Fill each prepared mold with the batter, leaving a bit of space from the top to allow the puto to rise.
For added flavor and a cheesy twist, place a small piece of vegan cheese on top of the batter in each mold.
Arrange the molds in the steamer, ensuring they are not touching each other for even cooking.
Cover the steamer with a clean cloth before placing the lid to prevent water droplets from falling onto the puto.
Steam for 20-25 minutes over medium heat or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a puto comes out clean.
Carefully remove the molds from the steamer and allow the puto to cool slightly before removing from the molds.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the vegan classic Filipino puto as a delightful snack or side dish.
