Buttered-Cheese Puto

Puto or steamed cake is one of my favourite food in the Philippines. Almost all of the bakeshops in the Philippines sell this bread. Haven't eaten the bread years ago makes me craved for more. And so last month I decided to make this. Following the recipe I got I was able to make with perfection (modesty aside) at least close to the real taste.

But nonetheless, I improved the measurements and was able to satisfy my palate. And so, I am sharing this recipe. You may want to try this and served to your family and friends. My family love it and do hope my friends too. Enjoy and happy cooking.
