Grandma and I have been spending the afternoons together at our very tiny veranda where we can catch the cool breeze. Our idea of spending time together isn't anything out of the ordinary. We simply stay in the same corner of the house, occasionally watching each other as we drift off into our own worlds. She sleeps while I read and write. At around 4 in the afternoon, I have to prepare her snacks. She eats everything I make regardless of the taste. For grandma, everything I do is perfect. However, among all my recipes, there is one simple type of cookie which she probably thinks is beyond perfect.
I honestly haven't perfected this recipe as I am still trying to figure out how to achieve the texture similar to the commercially sold puto seko. Nevertheless, here is the recipe I am using:
2 pcs eggs
3/4 c confectioner's sugar
1/2 cup butter
4 cups cornstarch
2 cups powdered milk
2 tsp baking soda
The steps are simple: Mix. Knead and shape into circles. Bake at 190 C for 5 to 10 min.
Grandma and I really love eating puto seko together. It's a very simple cookie. What's extraordinary about it is the texture. It's so creamy and it melts in your mouth when you eat it.
