Simply Put-Oh!

This is a Puto recipe that I "inherited" from my maternal grandma. I used to sell these when I was in High School (yup inside the classroom and during class! haha). By the way, I still sell them, so order anytime. :-)





Ingredients:

• 2 cups All Purpose Flour
• 2 cups Cake Flour
• 2 cups Sugar
• 3 tbsps Baking Powder
• 1/4 tsp Iodized Salt
• 1 medium size Egg
• 1 tbsp Margarine
• 1/2 cup Fresh Milk or Evaporated Milk
• 2 cups Water
• Cheddar Cheese cut into 1 inch squares

Instructions:

• Sift all dry ingredients together (flour, sugar, baking powder and salt)
• In a separate bowl, beat egg with milk and margarine.
• With an electric mixer, mix the dry and wet ingredients together.
• Add the water gradually.
• Mix until the batter is smooth and without lumps.
• Lightly grease muffin pans or any mold you want to use with lmargarine.
• Use an ice cream scooper to pour batter into the molds.
• Make sure you leave about 1/3 space at the top to allow the puto to expand.
• Top each one with a slice of cheese.
• Place in steamer and steam for about 30 minutes or until cake is firm.
