PUTO CHEESE (STEAMED RICE CAKE)

​These Filipino steamed cakes are traditionally served during gatherings but is now an all-time favorite snack. They are easy to make and you can also add different colors if you prefer. 

There are so many variations on how to make Puto.  I find rice flour and coconut milk a good combination and tastes better. ​I used colorful silicone baking cups in making them. They are easy to clean and a money saver since you don't need to use a cupcake liner. Please find the Amazon link below.

I suggest to also try making Puto Cheese using Bisquick mix. Click here for my Bisquick Puto Cheese recipe.

Using individual molds makes the steaming easy because most muffin pans won't fit on the steamer.

This batch was my first one and added star anise to it which adds flavor and aroma.

This puto cheese is so white :)
