Puto Biñan

 Taking a Tasty Journey Through Tradition and Flavor

by: Sharelle Vicuña

Puto Biñan is what some may call the best puto to be had.  It’s spread with melted butter and then drizzled with condensed milk and finished with grated cheese and salted egg.

What Ingredients Do You Need For Puto Biñan?

Plain Rice Flour – Use regular rice flour that is made with ground rice and nothing else. 

Sugar – For a little sweetness. 

Baking Powder – This gives the Puto it’s lift and makes it nice and fluffy. The key is to mix it more than you need and to let the batter sit for about 30 minutes. 

Pinch Of Salt – To balance out all the flavors. 

Coconut Milk – For a little flavor.  I do notice that makes the cake a little bit more dense.  If you prefer a much lighter puto cut the coconut milk in half with water. 

For the toppings this is what you will need: 

Melted Butter 

Condensed Milk 

Cheddar or Gouda Cheese 

Itlog Na Maalat (Salted Egg)
