Hi! Can i use fresh milk instead of evaporated milk? Thanks!
ano po yung sukat ng pandan essence? Wala kasi sa list po ng ingredients eh maraming salamat po!
hi! could you please inform me or tell me where to buy the plastic baking cup of puto. i really want to order some so that i could try to make puto.
Hi! You can also use individual silicone moulds used for cupcakes, para hindi dumikit yung puto at madaling matagal. You dont have to grease the moulds anymore.
This turned out amazing! Thank you for sharing this recipe! I’m always happy to add more Filipino food to my recipe book! <3

hi! i tried this recipe using all purpose flour and it turned out great kaya lang gusto ko sana medyo maputi ang color… ok lang ba gumamit ng cake flour instead of all purpose flour? after preparing the mixture dapat ba iluto agad? what will happen if i let it stand for an hour or so before steaming?

You may use vanilla essence if you can’t get the pandan.

You’re welcome Cristina

Pwede brix pero iibahin natin yung measurement ng ibang ingredients since magka-iba ang properties ng rice and all purpose flour. We’ll post a different puto recipe using rice flour soon.
