Ingredients
- 1 cup Rice flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.75 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Grated cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, baking powder, and sugar. Mix until well incorporated.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, egg, water, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
Step 3
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a smooth batter is formed.
Step 4
Prepare your steamer by bringing water to a boil over medium heat.
Step 5
Lightly grease puto molds or silicone muffin cups with a small amount of oil.
Step 6
Pour the batter into each mold, filling roughly three-quarters full to allow room for rising. Top each with a small amount of grated cheese.
Step 7
Place the filled molds into the steamer, ensuring they do not touch the water below or the sides of the steamer.
Step 8
Cover the steamer with a clean cloth under the lid to catch excess condensation, and steam the puto for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the puto from the steamer and allow them to cool slightly before removing from the molds.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy your gluten-free Filipino puto.
