Puto is a steamed bite-sized cake popular in the Philippines. It is usually eaten as a dessert but can also be eaten for breakfast with a cup of hot chocolate. It is also perfect with margarine as a topping. Others are eating this together with Dinuguan or Pork blood stew. It can also be eaten without anything on it, its taste is already perfect.

How to make Steamed White Puto?

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour 
• 1/2 cup powdered milk 
• 1/2 cup + 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
• 2 tbsp baking powder 
• 1 1/4 cup water 
• 3 egg whites

Note:

• Do not add the sugar all at once. Read the instruction carefully.
• Over-mixing the batter will affect the texture of the puto.

Procedure:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, powdered milk, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder and water. Using an electric hand mixer, mix well until smooth. Then set aside. 
2. In separate bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat the cream of tartar, the egg whites and the 1/4 cup sugar until stiff.
