Puto Flan

Ever since I started cooking for this, my kids now request for it instead of the traditional cheese puto on their birthdays or on special occasions. Who wouldn't? Its like two of their favorite desserts rolled into one.


Ingredients:

• 8 Egg Yolks
• 4 Egg Whites
• 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
• 1 cup White Sugar
• 2 tbsp Baking Powder
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1 cup Evaporated Milk
• 1 cup Condensed Milk
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tsp Lemon Juice
• 2 tbsp Melted Butter

Cooking Procedure:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine egg yolks, condensed milk, and lemon mix together in a circular motion until smooth and well-blended. Set aside.
2. In another mixing bowl, sift flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix until well-blended.
3. In separate mixing bowl, combine: egg white, evaporated milk and water. Mix until well-blended.
4. Now add the egg white mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix well then add the melted butter. Set aside.
5. Heat water in the bottom layer of your steamer. Let it boil.
6. Grease mold with melted butter.
7. Transfer egg yolks mixture on the mold half-full then steam for about 10 minutes. 
8. When leche flan is almost cooked. Pour the egg flour mixture almost full then steam for another 10 minutes.
9. When cooked remove from steamer and let it cool on a tray.

Tips:

• Do not over mix the egg yolk and milk mixture to refrain from having tough texture.
• You could also use vanilla extract in the absence of lemon juice
• I recommend you that you use Pandan juice instead of plain water to add flavor and fragrance to your puto.
