Puff puff is a deep-fried dough. They are made from yeast dough, shaped into balls and deep-fried until golden brown. It has a doughnut-like texture but slightly more chewy. It is a very common snack eaten by so many countries but with different names and a little bit of variation in the mode of preparation.
- 1. Mix half of a cup of warm water, 1 teaspoon of sugar and the yeast in a bowl. Cover with a lid and set aside until the yeast becomes bubbly. About 4-6 minutes.
- 2. In another bowl, mix the dry ingredients – Flour, Sugar, Salt, and Nutmeg.
- 3. Pour the proofed yeast and the remaining one cup water together with the dry ingredients and mix until the batter is lump-free.
- 4. Cover the dough and allow it to rise for 1 hour. (The risen dough has a distinct sweet smell, which will make you know the dough is ready for frying)
- 5. Preheat the oil in a pan deep and wide enough to accommodate the puff puff balls (about 360°F ) and drop a little onion for nice scent, scoop enough mix with your hand and drop the ball in oil. Repeat until pan of oil is full.Fry until golden brown on all sides.
- 6. Fry both sides until golden brown. If you are finding it hard to turn the puff puff while frying you can just press down the balls a little bit with your frying spoon before turning it.
- 7. Remove from heat. Drain on a paper towel and enjoy while still hot or warm.
