To make this tasty dessert, you’ll be needing:
- 2 cups of glutinous rice flour
- 1 cup of rice flour
- 1 tablespoon of violet food coloring
- A pinch of salt
- A cup of water
- Butter
- Margarine (optional)
- Grated coconut
As for the other materials, you’ll be needing:
- Tin foil
- Banana Leaf
- Steamer
Batter Process:
To start, you must combine the glutinous rice flour, rice flour, and salt in a bowl.
Gradually add the water and mix it well until it gets to its clay-like texture. Keep in mind that the dough’s texture should not be wet or dry.
Grate your dough using your cheese grater and grate it into grain pieces.
Baking Process:
Brush foil with butter to prevent the dough from sticking. By putting the dough in the foil–the dough will form into a log shape.
To bake, first preheat your steamer. Arrange the foil in the streamer and steam it for 15 to 20 minutes.
Wrap the lid with a clean cloth to prevent the water from dripping into the Puto Bumbong.
After 20 minutes, remove the Puto Bumbong from the steamer.
Finishing:
Arrange it over the Banana leaf, and brush it with either butter or margarine. And top it with grated coconut, muscovado sugar, and/or grated cheese.
