Puto
There is nothing like freshly baked puto right out of your steamer I always thought puto has to be made always with rice flour. The best texture and taste is using rice flour but I am sure some of my readers overseas appreciate a puto recipe without using rice flour but instead just the plain all-purpose flour. However, you can use rice flour if you can grind some. 
Here is what you need:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons white sugar
1/4 cup shortening
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons evaporated milk
4 egg whites
2 tablespoons sugar (for the egg whites)
Procedure
1. Cream shortening. When fluffy, add the 3 tablespoons sugar.
2. Add the dry ingredients together (flour and baking powder) together and add alternately with the 6 tablespoons milk to the creamed mixture. Set aside.
3. In another mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stuff. Add 2 tablespoons sugar to keep the air in the beaten eggwhites.
4. Fold the eggwhites to the mixture in number 2.
5. Pour into muffin molds.
6. Steam for 20 minutes or until done.
7. Top with a few anis seeds for flavor. Serve hot or cold.

Am wondering why you need egg? My mom used to cook rice puto without any egg and its really delicious… I can´t seem to understand you need to put egg hhhmm…
Hi Noemi, I tried your chocolate cake. At first I was hesitant to say it was good until my daughter and friends tried it! Now I can say it was so yummy! specially when it is served cold. Maybe at first, it was not moist because it stayed in the oven more than your specified time to baked, but I tell you now “lami kaayo”, sorry I’m from Cebu City.
Next I will try your Puto. Oh, I forgot, I tried yesterday your Siopao Recipe, it was the best! I tried a lot of recipes, but this is the only Siopao recipe I tried that I can say the “Best”. Thanks for sahring. . .

Hi, would it be okay to share the puto recipes here — the main one featured as well as ms mary grace’s — with high school students via a supplement magazine feature? I don’t know how to acknowledge though except by mentioning the URL/site given only nicknames…? Please email me your decision at cmvillanuevajr@gmail.com. Thank you and more power.
On the personal note, I’d like to try both recipes for sure given that they are very easy to do and makes use of available ingredients.
a credit to the link or the site link would be okay. I can’t allow the whole recipe to be posted here without permission
