# Cheese Puto

I made this cheese puto using all-purpose flour. Also take note that this recipe does not suggest the use of eggs. It only relies on baking powder to let the mixture rise and be a delightful treat just like what you see in the images in this post. Speaking about baking powder, please make sure to use fresh baking powder for optimum effect. Branded baking powders that are sealed and sold in the supermarket are ideal. I am saying this because I have had several feedback from other readers when I published the recipe for buttered puto . They mentioned how ineffective their baking powder was. Most of them bought it from their local market (palengke) in the Philippines. Baking powder brands such as Calumet, Clabber Girl, Clover Valley, and Crumford are recommended. I find a bamboo steamer to be very efficient. All I needed to do was to arrange the molds with cheese puto mixture in it, cover it, and start to steam – no need for any cheesecloth. Enjoy this yummy cheese puto. This recipe can make up to 7 medium puto. You can double or triple the recipe depending on the number of pieces that you intend to produce.
