Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Steamer: Fill the bottom of a steamer with water and bring it to a rolling boil. Wrap the steamer lid with a kitchen towel to prevent water from dripping onto the puto.
- 2
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- 3
Add Wet Ingredients: Gradually whisk in the evaporated milk, water, melted butter, and beaten eggs. Stir just until the batter is smooth and well-combined; do not overmix.
- 4
Fill the Molds: Pour the batter into lightly greased puto molds or silicone cups, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
- 5
Steam: Place the molds in the steamer. Steam over medium heat for 10 minutes.
- 6
Add Cheese and Finish: Quickly open the lid, place a strip of cheese on top of each puto, and cover again. Steam for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is slightly melted and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool slightly before removing from molds.
