Putong Puti

2 cups rice soaked and ground with
2 a/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups white sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

(Note: Rice should either be wag-wag or Milagrosa.)

The ground rice should have the consistency of a thick batter. Add the sugar, salt, and one teaspoon of baking powder for every cup of the mixture. Fill molds (cups) two-thirds full of the mixture. Arrange in a streamer and steam for half an hour or until done. It is done when a toothpick inserted into it comes out dry. Remove from the molds and serve with grated coconut.
