Although the word “puto” automatically conjures up a spongy rice muffin-like “cake” for most Filipinos, it can be understood as a generic term for a rice pastry — think of puto maya and puto seko.

Seco is the Spanish word for “dry” and these cookies are known for their dry texture — very distinctive mouthfeel that conjures up nostalgia among Filipinos.
