This is my family’s recipe for Filipino Puto Seko. Puto Seko is a type of powdery cookie, traditionally made from corn flour. The well known Puto’ are usually steamed whereas these cookies are baked, giving meaning to its name translated as “dry Puto.”
Served either as a cookie cake on its own, or as an accompaniment to many other Asian savory dishes, these are a popular favorite all over Asia, not just in the Philippines and now you can make them popular in your home too!
To make the Puto Seko, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat oven to 350 °F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, stir together the flour, white sugar, baking powder, corn starch, butter, powdered milk, egg and salt. Knead together to make a soft dough.
Divide the dough into 12 portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten the top, slightly. Place on the baking sheet, 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 mins until light brown.
Cool completely and store in an airtight container.
Now it’s your turn to experiment with this traditional recipe! Top your oriental cookies with cheese, butter, hard boiled eggs, meat or even freshly grated coconut! Let us know which is your favorite and tag #cookmerecipes in your own posts!
