PUTO CHEESE WITH EGG WHITES
PUTO CHEESE WITH EGG WHITE IS THE NEXT INSTALLMENT of my3 Ingredient No Bubble Leche Flan . REMember when I separated the egg yolks from the egg whites? So here it is the egg whites in the Puto Cheese form.
Servings: 40 puto
- 4 cups flour
- 2 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 cups white sugar
- 10 egg whites
- 2 tablespoon butter melted
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups Milk
- 40 pieces thin slices of cheddar cheese mild or you can use the grated one
DON'T GREASE YOUR MOLD.
Put 6 cups of water in a large steamer and the water boil.
In an electric mixing bowl, put the egg whites and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Mix on high until the sugar is incorporated. Add the butter and milk.
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt on top of the bowl and mix using a spatula. Then use the mixer. Don't overmix, so use the spatula to crush solids left in the batter
Fill the plastic puto molder about half of it and for 30 minutes and steam until cook through. I do not use a toothpick method in this because usually, the puto still come out uncook even when the toothpick comes out smooth; so using a pointy knife, gouge out and peek if there is still soft batter underneath or in the middle. Then continue steaming.
When the puto cheese is cook line it with cheese on top.
I made this without the Cheddar cheese on top and the Puto Cheese was still delicious, but I prefer the contrast between the cheddar and the sweetness of the Puto.
USE THE EGG YOLKS TO MAKELECHE FLAN
If you want different flavors:
Divide the batter into 3. Put it in separate bowl, and add 2 teaspoons of your favorite flavor in each bowl.
