Steamed Rice Cakes

[Kurt]

Steamed rice cakes, also known as "puto" in Filipino cuisine, are soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet cakes made from rice flour. Here's a simple recipe to make steamed rice cakes at home

Ingredients:​

• 2 cups rice flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Food coloring (optional)
• Grated coconut for serving (optional)

Instructions:​

1. Prepare Steamer:
   • Fill the bottom of a steamer with water and bring it to a boil. Grease the molds of your puto molds with a little oil or butter to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, sugar, and baking powder. Stir until well mixed.
3. Add Wet Ingredients:
   • Gradually add the water and coconut milk to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth. If desired, you can add a few drops of food coloring to the batter to give it a colorful appearance.
4. Fill the Molds:
   • Pour the batter into the greased puto molds, filling them about three-fourths full.
5. Steam the Rice Cakes:
   • Place the filled molds in the steamer basket, making sure not to overcrowd them. Steam the rice cakes for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and Serve:
   • Once cooked, remove the steamed rice cakes from the steamer and allow them to cool slightly before removing them from the molds.
   • Serve the steamed rice cakes warm or at room temperature, topped with grated coconut if desired.

Enjoy these soft and delicious steamed rice cakes as a snack or dessert! They're perfect for breakfast or merienda (snack time) and can be enjoyed on their own or with savory toppings like cheese or salted eggs.
