Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- Mix the rice flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
- Add the coconut milk, water and melted butter, and mix smooth.
- Whip the egg white to a stiff foam, and fold gently into the batter.
- Butter small muffin moulds or silicone puto moulds, and fill three-quarters full with the batter.
- Steam over boiling water for 15 minutes. Wrap the lid in a kitchen towel so condensation doesn't drip onto the tops.
- If using cheese, place a slice on top of each in the last 2 minutes.
- Let cool slightly, then remove from the moulds. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips
- Don't lift the lid during steaming, or the puto will collapse.
