Cheese Puto Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Making your own Cheese Puto at home has never been easier. This recipe will show you how to make it from scratch in less than 40 minutes. This makes a good snack and it can even be eaten for breakfast with a hot cup of brewed coffee. Yummy!

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.

Try this yummy Puto Cheese recipe. Let me know what you think.

      Thess -- I am sorry, but this recipe is not intended for glutinous rice nor glutinous rice flour (galapong). I can develop a recipe soon using that ingredient and will post it here.

    I tried to make puto ( allrecipes )
    But it turns out bitter taste. I figured it out because of too much baking powder.. fyi, i just followed the instructions and ingredients.

    I will tryo make puto again but this time, this one. Hope it wont taste bittee again!

      Zeah, thanks for the feedback. May I please know the brand of baking powder that you used? This recipe does not taste bitter with either Calumet or Clabber Girl brands. Otherwise try to reduce the amount of baking powder just by a little bit. Decreasing it too much can affect how the mixture rises.
