We start by beating the 8 pcs of egg yolk, then add 1 can of condensed milk. Next we add in our vanilla extract and our lemon juice. Set aside.
We now combine all our dry ingredients flour, sugar and baking powder. Sift all these ingredients then set aside.
Beat 4 egg whites using a hand mixer or an egg beater then add it to our dry ingredients.
Mix thoroughly. Add our melted butter.
Lastly, add the yellow food coloring.
Brush all molds with melted butter and now pour slowly our
Flan (egg yolk) mixture. Steam for 5 minutes.
Put a tea cloth on our cover to avoid water into our custard cake.
After 5 minutes we can now add our Puto (egg whites) mixture then steam for 10 minutes.
