Belated Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year to All!

Hello everybody! Happy New Year to all… I wanna say sorry to all anonymous bloggers who visited my blog and wants my puto cheese recipe specially to the one who wants my recipe before new year. I read your comments just now. I’m so sorry. I wanted to help you but its too late now obviously hehe…. I wanna thank you for liking my recipe specially my puto cheese.. there are lots of reasons kung bakit hindi tutubo ang puto cheese, one is yong egg tsaka sa pag mix din. There’s time limit in mixing the batter to achieve a perfect batter. Don’t mix the batter for more than 5 mins. And you should be careful in sparating the egg whites and egg yolk. If you drop a tiny amount of yellow in your whites tapos ang white mo palpak lahat that’s why hindi tutubo yan. Its like you are making a cake in this recipe too so all the ingredients should be accurate and nasa timing lang talaga. Normal lng na palpak ang recipe mo frst pero makukuha mo rin yan just keep on trying until makukuha mo nang tama.

Happy cooking everyone!
