1. 1Step 1: In a bowl, add in the eggs, milk, and unsalted butter. Mix until smooth.
2. 2Step 2: Sift in the flour, sugar, powdered milk, and baking powder. Gently whisk until combined; minor lumps in the batter are okay (avoid over-mixing the batter to prevent a dense puto).
3. 3Step 3: Spoon the batter into your puto molds about 3/4 of the way full to allow room for rising.
4. 4Step 4: Bring your steamer to a medium boil. Steam the puto for 15 minutes until risen and cooked all the way through. If you'd like to add cheese, place the cheese slices after 13 minutes and continue steaming for an additional 2 minutes until melted.
5. 5Step 5: Insert a toothpick into the centre of the puto, if it comes out clean with a few loose crumbs, it should be ready to go. Let cool slightly before removing from their molds. Enjoy warm.
