puto prep

Clean the Banana Leaves, cut them then place on the tin molds. Sift together all purpose flour, baking powder and sugar in a bowl. In a separate bowl slowly whisk to blend the water, milk, egg and melted butter/margarine until fully incorporated. Add dry ingredients into the liquid mixture and mix thoroughly until well blended and no lumps.
Fill the tin molds with batter to nearly full. Repeat the process for the rest of the tin molds. Arrange filled tin molds in a steamer, place cheesecloth in between each tray to avoid water drips. Put enough water and 1 tbsp of vinegar on the steamer and steam for 20-25 minutes without opening the lid. Remove Special Puto from steamer tray and tin mold.
