How to Make Khanom Puto A Steamed Sweet Savory Coconut Muffin

  1. **Prepare the Muffin Batter:** In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, desiccated coconut, baking powder, egg, granulated sugar, and coconut milk until a smooth batter forms.
  2. **Fill the Muffin Cups:** Pour the batter into mini silicone muffin cups, filling each about halfway.
  3. **Steam the Muffins (First Stage):** Place the filled muffin cups in a steamer basket over simmering water. Cover and steam for 5 minutes.
  4. **Prepare the Coconut Cream Topping:** In a small bowl, whisk together the thick coconut cream, glutinous rice flour, corn flour, granulated sugar, and salt until smooth.
  5. **Add Topping & Savory Elements:** Remove the muffin cups from the steamer. Using a small teaspoon, spread a thin layer of the coconut cream topping evenly over each muffin. Sprinkle with the ground dried anchovies, corn kernels, and chopped garlic chives.
  6. **Steam the Muffins (Second Stage):** Return the muffin cups to the steamer and steam for an additional 3 minutes, or until the topping is set and the muffins are cooked through.
  7. **Serve:** Carefully remove the muffins from the steamer and silicone cups. Let them cool slightly before serving and enjoy your delicious Khanom Puto!
