Method
- Grease small puto molds and prepare a steamer.
- Add water or milk and melted butter to make a smooth batter.
- Fill molds about three-fourths full.
- Top each with a slice of kesong puti.
- Steam the small moulds over steady medium heat for about 12–15 minutes, until springy and a skewer has no wet batter. Larger moulds need longer. Keep a steady medium steam and avoid lifting the lid repeatedly, which drops the temperature.
- Serve warm while the cheese is soft.
