Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Ingredients for the Leche Flan
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 can 14 ounces condensed milk
Ingredients for the Puto:
- 2 cups flour
- ⅔ cup sugar
- 4 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cup water
- 4 egg whites
Instructions
- Lightly brush the insides of the molds with melted butter and set aside. Fill the lower bottom of the steamer with water and bring it to a boil.
- In a bowl, combine egg yolks, condensed milk, and calamansi juice. Stir in a circular motion until smooth. Fill the molds with the flan mixture until ⅓ full. Arrange them in a single layer on the steamer basket.
- Cover the steamer with a clean kitchen towel and steam the flan at low heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until it's no longer liquid but not fully set. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
- In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add water and egg whites. Stir until just combined.
- Add the puto mixture over the flan in the molds, filling them almost to the top. Steam on low heat for about 8 to 10 minutes or until the puto has risen.
- Remove from heat and allow the leche puto to slightly cool. Gently remove them from the molds and serve.
