Puto (찐 하얀 케이크 믹스)

Steamed these for a family gathering and they came out fluffy and perfectly springy, just like the ones from the bakery. The mix is genuinely easy to use, and the whole batch was gone before the coffee even cooled.

The mix is super forgiving—even my first batch came out fluffy and perfectly round, just like the puto from the bakery down the street. Steamed them for about 15 minutes and they disappeared at our family gathering before I could even get seconds.

I was nervous about getting the texture right, but this mix steamed up into those soft, pillowy squares in about 20 minutes—exactly like the ones from the market. The batter was easy to pour, and they came out fluffy enough for a birthday merienda without any fuss.
