Many years ago, probably 52 when Gina was a toddler, I wrote Manang Norma’s puto recipe down on a piece of paper and used that recipe many times for several years.  It was my dad’s favorite treat and he asked me many times to cook it for him.  
After I lost her recipe, he still asked me to make it and all I could tell him that I wish I remembered it.  This was her recipe that she dictated to me from memory.  It was back in the day  before she changed her recipe to the cute little pastel colored muffins.  The one she gave me was for a round cake in a stainless steal bowl in a pan of water.  I never committed it to memory.  I misplaced the recipe somewhere in the kitchen in a cookbook or my compilations of recipes that I have collected through the years.   I kept many in a pink binder.  After we moved to Texas I put the recipes of all I had in our office bookcase.  Since I can find  everything online now, I emptied out the pink binder and checked the inside pockets to make sure it wasn’t stuck.  The paper was from a pad maybe 3x5.  We moved again to downsize and I still looked for it.  I have yet to find it because it was her original recipe and anyone else’s puto does not taste like hers.  I have many pleasant memories of Manang Norma, but finding this recipe after all these years would be an honor for me and to her memory.  Rest In Peace and all my Love.
