Pieces (Large)

Ingredients

1 kilo All purpose flour
4 cups sugar
8 tablespoon baking powder
5 large eggs
1 big evaporated milk (370ml)
1/2 cup melted margarine (or butter)
5 1/2 cup water
Cheese (Quezo)

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, sift the all purpose flour, sugar and baking powder. Sift to remove lumps. Mix well and set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, evaporated milk, melted margarine and water. Mix well.
Combine the flour and egg mixture. Mix until well-blended and no lumps. Rest for at least 15 minutes.
Grease the bottom of each molder (In this recipe, I used large molder). After resting the mixture, pour some mixture to the molders. Fill only 3/4 of the molder as it will rise as you steam. Then, top with cheese or choice of topping (you can use salted egg also)
Arrange the molders in the steamer. Put cloth in the lid of the steamer to keep the water steam from dripping.
Steam for 14 to 15 minutes. After steaming, let it cool a little before unmolding. Enjoy!

RECIPE NOTES

Ang mga prices ng ingredients ay pwedeng magkaiba iba depende kung gaano karami ang binili, sa brand ng item at kung saan binili. Ang mga prices na nakaindicate sa taas ay ang actual na presyo ng mga ingredients na ginagamit ko sa recipe na ito.

Ang SRP na nakaindicate dito ay pwedeng baguhin. Dine sa amin, ang bentahan ng large puto is 6.00 to 7.00 pesos (minsan 3 for 20 pesos) So depende po sa inyo at sa packaging na gagamitin ninyo.

Kung gagamit ng powdered milk, para sa recipe na ito, add at least 2 cups of powdered milk and adjust the water up to 6 to 6 1/2 cups. Adjust the water hanggang sa makuha ang tamang consistency

Pwedeng gumamit ng cake flour, 1st or 3rd class na harina. Mag-iiba lamang ang texture at fluffiness ng puto depende sa ginamit na flour.

TIPS FOR FAIL-PROOF PUTO

Tip #1: Make sure na okay pa ang baking powder mo.

Isa sa mga causes kung bakit nagiging parang kutsinta ang puto ay dahil sa baking powder. Either luma na, nakasingaw na or sira na. So make sure na okay pa siya. Pano malalaman? Buhusan ng around 1/4 cup na mainit na tubig ang 1/4 tsp na baking powder. Pag nagbubbles siya, okay pa.

Tip #2: Yung ilalim lang ng molder ang pahiran ng oil or butter

Para maachieve yung dome appearance, yung ilalim lang ng molder ang pahiran ng oil. Wag na yung gilid. Pwede rin na wag na i-grease at all pero there are some instances na dumidikit sa ilalim ng molder ang puto so para maiwasan pero tyak na tutubo ang puto, yung ilalim lang ang i-grease.

Tip #3: Lagyan ng tela or cloth ang takip ng steamer

Minsan, pag natutuluan ng tubig mula sa steam ang puto, nadedeflate ito. Para maiwasan, lagyan mo ng tela ang takip.

Tip #4: DO NOT OVERCOOK

Isa pang cause kung bakit mukhang kutsinta si puto ay dahil sobra sa steam. Nag-iiba iba ang steaming duration base sa lakas ng apoy, sa laki ng molder at kung gaano kakapal ang mixture mo. In my experience eto ang steaming time na alam ko: LARGE (14-15 MINUTES) MEDIUM (11-12 MINUTES) SMALL (8-10MINUTES)

TIP #5: Yung hindi masyadong tunaw ang cheese

Kung gusto nio ng shiny pero mukhang melted ang cheese, gumamit ng matagal matunaw na cheese gaya ng Quezo. Ang cheese gaya ng Eden, mabilis matunaw habang nassteam (kaya minsan mukhang durog after masteam). Kung sa tingin mo mabilis matunaw ang ang cheese mo, sa pahuli mo na ito ilagay. For example, ang steaming time is 15 minutes, ilagay ito sa 12min mark, takpan ulit at ituloy ang steam hanggang sa matapos ang steaming time.
