[This may be a bit time consuming with the rice, but I'm sure you may be
able to improvise using rice flour, but you'll have to experiment with
the rice flour to water ratio.]

2 cups rice, soaked and ground with 1 1/2 cups water
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

The ground rice should have the consistency of thick batter.  Add to
this the sugar, salt and baking powder.  Mix thoroughly.  Pour into puto
moulds until each is 2/3 full.  Arrange in a steamer and steam for 1/2
hour or until done.  Insert a toothpick in each and if it comes out dry,
the puto is done.  Serve with grated coconut.
