What is puto flan?

By the way, let me explain what Puto Flan is. Puto Flan is a combination of Leche Flan and Puto (Filipino Muffin) in one. The Flan is cooked first then, the cake batter. Though making this comes with some challenges.

How to make the best puto?

In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until well combined. Fill in about a third of each mold with the custard mixture. Steam for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the Puto batter. First, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peak forms. Then add the fresh milk while continuously beating.

Why can’t I bake Flan and puto cake together?

Either the flan is too thin and won’t mold properly and will just crack or, the Puto cake will be way too fluffy and creates a dome which we don’t like because you want it to be flat as much as possible since the flan will be on top when serving. Another challenge is how to make them stick together which my recipe didn’t give me any issues at all.
