HOW TO MAKE PUFF PUFF

Recipe

* 500g Flour
*100g Sugar
* 2 teaspoons yeast
 *Half teaspoon of ground Nutmeg
*Lukewarm water
 * Half teaspoon of Salt
* Vegetable Oil (for frying)

**You can double or reduce the quantity of all the ingredients if you want to depending on the quantity you need.
 This recipe will make about 40 pieces of medium sized puff puff.

 METHOD

 1.Pour the flour into a big bowl, add the ground nutmeg, sugar, salt and the yeast and mix together.

 2. Now add the water, bit by bit and mix thoroughly. Puff puff is usually mixed with hand, but you can also mix with a flat wooden spoon. Mix for about 10 minutes or until there are no lumps in it, and the batter is smooth , but it should not be watery.

3. Cover the bowl (airtight) with a clean dry cloth or aluminum foil and leave the batter to rise for about 45 to 50 minutes. To know if the batter is ready for frying, you will notice some air bubbles on it and also that the batter has doubled in size and is little thicker and stretchy.

4.Now, heat up some oil in a deep pot.

 5. Do an oil test. This is done by dropping a little of the batter into the oil. The oil is ready when the puff puff rises to the top.

 6. Scoop the batter into your palm and drop into the oil by pressing the batter between your thumb and your fore finger ( that's the finger closest to the thumb). To prevent spills, bring your hand closer to the pot.

7. Fry until golden brown. Then transfer into a sieve lined with paper towels(serviettes).

Enjoy!
