Ingredients
- 1 cup tapioca starch or cassava flour
- 1 ¼ cup flour
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 ½ tsp annatto powder dilute in ½ cup water
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup grated coconut alternatively, use grated cheese
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the tapioca starch, flour and sugar. Make a well on the center of the mixture and pour the annatto mixture and water. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
- Brush each mold with melted butter or cooking oil. Gently pour 2 tbsp of the mixture on each molder. I used the same mold when I made puto.
- Place in a steamer and cover with tea towel before placing the lid. This will prevent water from dripping on the kutsinta. Steam it for 15 minutes or until the top is firm.
- Remove from the steamer, let it cool for at least 10 minutes. Loose and remove the kutsinta from each mold, then roll it in grated coconut or grated cheese.
