Ingredients
- 4 Cups all-purpose flour
- 2 Cups white sugar
- 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) baking powder
- 6 Whole eggs
- 12 Fluid Ounces (fl oz) evaporated milk
- 1.5 Cups water
- 2.25 Cups Edam cheese, shredded
Steps
- Grease small cake molds or ramekins that will fit in a steamer basket.
- In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and baking powder. In a separate large bowl, scramble the eggs with evaporated milk and water. Fold the dry mixture into the egg mixture until evenly blended.
- Fill the prepared molds 2/3 of the way up with batter and top with shredded cheese.
- Fill a wok or a saucepan that can hold a steamer basket with a few inches of water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Place the molds into the steamer basket, set over the boiling water, and cover.
- Steam until a toothpick inserted in the center of one of the putos comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack and serve warm or at room temperature.
