Cheese Puto<\/strong> are soft, fluffy, and extra delicious with pockets of cheese! These Filipino steamed cakes are easy to make and fun to eat. They are delicious on their own or served with dinuguan or pancit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cheese<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Puto is traditionally made of rice. The grains are soaked overnight in water to soften and then processed into a soft dough called galapong. The natural fermentation of soaking the rice acts as a leavening agent, but it's common to add yeast or baking powder to help the cake rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prepared batter is either steamed as whole loaves or into individual portions, and the steaming vessel is usually lined with banana leaves to impart aroma. Flavorings and toppings such as pandan water, cheese, salted eggs, grated coconut meat, and butter are added for extra flavor and texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puto refers to these muffins and other kakanin varieties cooked by steaming, such as lanson<\/a>, kutsinta<\/a>, and puto maya<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
