      How many puto does this recepi yields? Since it has 4 cups of flour used. How come there is no regular egg added into the batter for puto?

        Depends on what size of mold your using. Standard size mold would make 50 to 55 pieces of Puto.

        Hi Maria,

        Regular egg should work or just ditch it out.
        Yes you may put whatever your heart desires.
