Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine the rice flour with the sugar, salt and baking powder.

  2. 2

    Pour in the milk and water and stir until the batter is smooth.

  3. 3

    Strain the batter through a fine sieve into a jug, then rest it for 30 min.

  4. 4

    Brush 16 small molds (about 60 ml / 1/4 cup each) with the oil.

  5. 5

    Bring 4 cm (1 1/2 in) of water to a boil in the bottom of a steamer. Wrap the lid in a clean cloth so condensation does not drip onto the cakes.

  6. 6

    Stir the batter, then fill each mold about 3/4 full.

  7. 7

    Set the molds in the steamer basket in a single layer, cover and steam over steady heat for 15 min, until a toothpick in the centre comes out clean. Steam in two batches if the molds do not fit.

  8. 8

    Cool for 5 min, then ease the puto out of the molds. Serve warm or at room temperature.
