How to make PUTO PAO
The procedure of this PUTO PAO is similar to making a chiffon cake...
Observe what we do with the egg white... That's what makes it different from others... This procedure can be used in making Carrot Cake too to produce a softer dough...
Puto Pao making
1. Sift then Mix
3 cups all purpose flour, 1 cup sugar, 2 T baking powder
2. Add 1 1/2 cups water + 2 tbsps water (The water can be replaced with milk - fresh milk, evaporated milk ) By experience, the quality of milk makes the dough tastier and creamier...
(If you will add the egg yolk in this recipe, the puto pao will look like the regular puto sold at the markets... Yellowish and not as soft as this PUTO Pao recipe..)
Put 7 eggwhite in a separate bowl. Make sure it is at room temperature.
Add the cream of tartar, 1/8 t per 1 eggwhite… that would be ¾ t
• To stabilize beaten egg whites, add 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar per egg white before beating.
Other tips:
• For meringues, use 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar for every two egg whites.
• When making candy, add 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar for each cup of granulated sugar.
Substitution Tips
• When cream of tartar is not available, substitute 1½ teaspoons of lemon juice or white vinegar for each ½ teaspoon of cream of tartar (three times the amount).
• 1 teaspoon baking powder = ¼ teaspoon baking soda + 5/8 teaspoon cream of tartar.
• 1 cup buttermilk = 1 cup milk + 1¾ teaspoons cream of tartar.
Beat egg white to mix with cream of tartar
Add 8 T of sugar gradually
Beat for 7-8 minutes until it looks like an icing
(The more icing like the egg white is, the more softer the dough will become...)
Fold with the mixture
Do not beat hard. Just fold.
Saute ground pork.

2 cloves (garlic)
Onion

A rectangle aluminum baking pan can be used if you don't have round aluminum containers....
You can use pyrex or aluminum pans in Oven... Never use plastic containers in Oven...
It will look like these when cooked...
