Method
- Grease 12 puto molds lightly. Whisk yolks, condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla without creating excessive foam.
- Pour a thin layer of flan mixture into each mold and steam 8–10 minutes, only until the surface begins to set.
- Sift rice flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together so the ube batter stays smooth.
- Blend eggs, coconut milk, ube halaya, and ube flavour until smooth, then combine with the dry ingredients.
- Pour ube batter gently over the partly set flan, filling molds no more than three-quarters full.
- Steam 15–18 minutes over medium heat, wrapping the lid with a cloth to prevent drips.
- Cool 10 minutes, loosen the edges, and invert carefully.
