Puto Cheese

It is called "Rice Puto" these are mini rice cake in Filipino version. These are delicious mini rice cake from the Philippines sweet delicacy.

However, my children protested "NO!!!" well, I said you can call them whatever you want. LOLz.

The recipe that I followed is from the Goldilocks recipe that I found online since year 2006. But at this time I cannot find the recipe I was using. The recipe posted below... I found it in other site. http://www.filipino-food-recipes.com/puto.html
