Welcome to my blog! I am not a chef but I definitely want to learn to cook. I search the web for recipes I want to prepare and I compile it here for my reference. I have learned that cooking takes time and patience but is a great source of joy especially when your loved ones enjoy the food you prepared. Cooking your own meals is economical too...

Puto

Puto is a traditional Filipino desert. It is a white fluffy cake that people can't get enough of. I got this recipe from recipezaar.com.

Ingredients:
2 cups rice soaked in 1 1/2 cups water, overnight
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup white sugar
4 egg whites
2 tablespoons sugar, for egg whites
coconut, to your desire

Directions:
1. You may use long grain.
2. In a heavy duty blender, puree soaked rice in water until very fine
3. Pour into a bowl; add sugar and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
4. Mix well and set aside.
5. Beat egg whites until stiff.
6. Add 2 tablespoons sugar to keep the air in the beaten egg whites.
7. Fold the egg whites into the beaten rice batter and pour into muffin pans.
8. Steam for about 20 minutes or until done. Serve with grated coconut.
