Buttered Puto Cheese

Valentine's day is over but I would just like to share one of my favorite Filipino dessert that I made to surprise my husband that day and he like it very much. this is a slightly sweet steamed cake. Easy way to cook and deliciously dessert.












Buttered Puto Cheese

 Ingredients


 1 1/2 cups water

 2 cups all purpose flour

 1/2 cup sugar
1 1/4 tbsp baking powder
1 cup evaporated milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 egg (raw)
Cheese ( small slices)
Vanilla essence ( optional)
Powder color( optional) 


METHOD
1. Combine all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl such as flour, sugar and baking powder then mix it well.
2. Add the evaporated milk, butter, egg, water and vanilla essence ( dissolved vanilla essence and powder color in water if you are using this). Beat until well incorporated.
3. Prepare muffins pan or puto molds, grease it with butter
4. Pour the mixture into the puto mold/ muffins pan, top it with cheese if you are using non-quick melt cheese. Steam it for about 25 minutes or until the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. If you are using quick- melt, steam first the mixture for about 20 minutes, remove from steamer then top it with cheese and steam again for 5 minutes.
( TIPS: cool before removing from the pan because the edges are still wet and soggy while the puto is hot, and you will only disfigure them if you remove it right away).
6. Remove from the molds/ muffins pan and arrange on a serving plate serve either hot or cold. SHARE AND ENJOY!
