Ube Puto Flan

Hi guys!!

Remember when I made ( Puto flan ) 

It's been a while since I made it. 

When I miss Motherland (Philippines)

Making Filipino food is my favorite thing to do.

I pretty much made this same as the regular Puto Flan, the only difference I did was 

I added 3 tsp of Ube Flavoring that I got from the asian store when we were in Rome.

I almost forgot I have it.

Its so easy to make!

Ingredients:

For the Flan:

• 4 egg yolks
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tsp. lemon juice

For the Puto:

• 2 Cups self raising flour
• 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/3 Cup granulated sugar
• 4 egg whites (2/3 Cup)
• 1 1/4 cups water
• Cooking spray (pam)
• 3 Tsp Ube flavoring

Directions: 

• Make the flan first. In a small bowl, mix together the egg yolks and condensed milk. Add the lemon juice.
• Heat water in the bottom pan of the steamer or get your electric steamer ready ( its what I used)
• Grease puto molds with some pam then pour some mixture to the molds, (Don't skip this one) Filling each about 1/3 full.

• Steam flan on low heat for about 10 minutes. At this point the flan would not be fully set but should not be liquidy either. Set aside to cool completely.
• In a medium bowl, sift dry ingredients of the puto together. Add in the wet ingredients and mix until well combined. ( Do not over mix) 
• Pour mixture over flan, filling molds nearly to the top.
• Steam the puto on low heat for another 15 minutes. Remove from steamer and let cool slightly.

• To remove from molds, Carefully run a thin knife around ( It should be easy to take it off since you sprayed it some pam)

• Invert the mold and tap to release the Puto Flan.

The Cooking spray makes it really easy to take off from the mold!

Let me know what you guys think!
