1/1/08 Update!: The new recipe can be found by clicking right HERE.
another guest was asking for the putong puti recipe. i am posting a simple one here as i’m putting it in the cookbook.
The simplest putong puti is made by soaking some rice in water overnight. Grind it with the water in a blender to make a thickish batter, then add a bit of baking powder (about 1/2-2/3 teaspoon for every cup of rice), sugar and optional salt. Pour batter into brioche tins or other mold (spray with cooking spray first) and steam for 15-20 minutes. You can also add an egg (gives more lift, gives color), top it with cheese and/or salted duck egg. there are many more variations which i won’t go into here.
Putong-puti the way it’s made traditionally is a bit tedious to copy in the home. You’d have to soak rice (preferably year-old rice called laon), then divide it into parts. One part is allowed to ferment with sugar for several hours while the rest are allowed to dry. Then everything is combined once again with the rest of the ingredients and allowed to ferment for several more hours, after which it is ready to be steamed into puto. If you are willing to experiment with this recipe, e-mail me at stefoodie[at]gmail[dot]com and we can talk about it. Thanks.
If you enjoyed this article, please consider sharing it!
I’m actually on a desperate hunt for a traditional galapong puto my late mother used to make when I found your very informative post online. Thank you!! I’ve made several unsuccessful puto attempts in the past but I’m not ready to give up yet! I’m willing to learn & try the more complicated procedure you mentioned, so I’ll be in touch with you at the other email you provided so we can discuss it. Thanks again!!

Hi,
I was just making putong puti just minutes ago. Instead of soaking rice and blendarizing it, I used rice flour. I also steamed it covered. It took me 1 hour and 30 minutes to cook it! I was using a pie-shaped tin foil as a mold. It was slightly creamy (uncooked batter) on the bottom. Am I doing anything wrong? The only step I didn’t follow was spraying the tin foil with cooking oil – would that be the cause? Or should I steam it uncovered since I was afraid of the buildup of steam condensation in the pot dropping on the puto and making it wet….Please let me know. I am always looking for improvements cooking things like this
Hi there,
I am really interested in the old style or traditional puto that our neighbor used to make and I used to sell as a child. Nobody seem to make them or sell them anymore all the ones I tried just uses flour which I don’t like because of my diabetes. Your reply is much appreciated.
I would like to request for a copy of the complicated puto recipe. Most of the recipes I searched in the web are wheat flour based and I am not convinced that the puto we used to have in the Philippines is made from wheat flour. Thank you.
hi,i’m glad to know that u have a recipe for puto.would u pls send me a copy of your puto recipe made of rice.thank you!
Hello. I just read your recipe for putong puti and I too am interested in the traditional fermenting method using rice. Would you please e-mail the entire recipe to me? I will need the specifics of the ingredients and procedure/how-to’s. Also, would you have an alternate recipe using rice flour that is available in the Oriental stores?Thank you for being so generous of your time and sharing this old time favorite recipe.
Hello. I too would like to request your recipe of the traditional fermented puto. Thanks!
I’ve been looking for this kind of recipe. Could you please email me your recipe for puto? Do you think it would matter if I used mochiko flour instead of soaking rice in water? Is this regular rice or sweet rice? Thank you!
FOUND THE FASTEST WAY TO MAKE PUTO!!! BY GOLLY, IT IS SO EASY AND GOOD. I USED MICROWAVE.
I STEAMED OVER BANANA LEAVES AND ANISE SEEDS. SERVED WITH FRESH GRATED COCONUT.
I SWEAR IT TAKES 5 MINUTES. MAYBE I SHOULD MARKET THIS LOL
can you pls post the measurements for your putong puti? im really interested with this recipe..

Please send me a traditional fermented type putong puti recipe. I would really appreciate it. I like the challenge… I like that kind of puto. Does this recipe calls for yeast instead of baking powder? how does it ferment?
Thank you very much!

Hi,
I am a cook myself and I have been criticizing silently how the filipino desert store prepare our kakanin, paarticularly the kutsinta and puto. I grew up in the Philippines where they are making the puto, (bario obrero) and I haven’t tasted any, I mean any, puto recipe that could come close with what we have in the Philippines. Can you share me yours?
