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
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine rice flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together coconut milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and water until smooth.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Prepare your steamer by bringing water to a gentle boil. Grease individual puto molds or use silicon cupcake liners to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Fill each mold or liner about 3/4 full with the batter to allow space for rising.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Steam over medium heat for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a puto comes out clean.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the puto from the steamer and let them cool slightly before gently removing them from the molds or liners.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy these delicious dairy-free puto as a snack or dessert!
