Instructions
Before we start, preheat your steamer on medium heat.
- Start by making the flan mixture. In a mixing bowl, beat 5 eggs and add 1 can of condensed milk, 1 can of evaporated milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix well and set aside.
- In a saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of sugar over medium heat. Keep stirring until the sugar caramelizes and turns golden brown. Be careful not to burn the sugar.
- Pour the caramelized sugar into a round baking dish. Make sure to spread it evenly on the bottom of the dish.
- Pour the flan mixture into the baking dish on top of the caramelized sugar.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and steam for 20-25 minutes or until the flan is set. Once done, remove the baking dish from the steamer and let it cool.
- While waiting for the flan to cool, let’s make the puto mixture. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of rice flour, 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 cup of sugar. Mix well.
- Add 1 cup of water and 1/4 cup of evaporated milk to the dry mixture. Mix until smooth.
- Grease your silicone molds or muffin cups and fill them with the puto mixture, about 3/4 full.
- Place the puto molds on top of the cooled flan mixture.
- Cover the steamer and steam the Puto Flan for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Once done, remove the Puto Flan from the steamer and let it cool.
- Run a knife around the edges of the baking dish to loosen the flan. Place a plate on top of the baking dish and flip it over to release the flan on the plate.
- Enjoy your delicious Puto Flan!
My Experience with Puto Flan Recipe Kusina Master
I first tried Puto Flan at a Filipino restaurant and I was blown away by the combination of flavors. I decided to try making it at home and after a few attempts, I finally perfected the recipe. I prefer using silicone molds for the puto because they are easier to remove and they give the puto a nice shape. I also like to serve the Puto Flan chilled, as it tastes even better when it’s cold.
Tips and Tricks
- Make sure to whisk the flan mixture well to avoid lumps.
- Use a toothpick to check if the Puto Flan is done. If it comes out clean, it’s ready.
- Let the Puto Flan cool completely before flipping it over to avoid breaking the flan.
- Store any leftover Puto Flan in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
