Ingredients

• 300 g All-Purpose Flour
• 300 g White Sugar
• 66 g Powdered Milk
• 7 g Ube Powder
• 24 g Baking Powder
• 2 g Salt
• 50 g Egg
• 400 g Water
• 70 g Melted Butter or Margarine
• ½ tsp Elufa Ube Extract

Topping

• Sliced cheese

Instructions

1. Mix the ube powder with water until well dispersed. Add the egg and Elufa Ube Extract, then mix thoroughly.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, white sugar, powdered milk, baking powder, and salt.
3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix gently just until smooth and no large lumps remain (do not overmix).
4. Add the melted butter or margarine and mix just until fully incorporated.
5. Strain the batter for a much smoother puto texture.
6. Pour the batter into lightly greased puto molds, leaving a little space at the top.
7. Steam over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Wrap the steamer lid with a clean cloth to prevent water condensation from dripping onto the puto.
8. Add sliced cheese on top and steam for another 1–2 minutes, just until the cheese softens.
9. Remove from the steamer and allow to cool slightly before unmolding.
