Puto (Filipino Steamed Muffin)
I remember the first time I had puto—a sweet steamed cupcake. I was 7 and it was at a friend’s house. It was soft, sweet, and cute as Hello Kitty!
The batter is a little looser than pancake batter. Do heed the instructions to fill to 1/2 full. I went to 3/4 and they overflowed. (I love the nubbin that formed on the one on the left in the photo.) Enjoy!
