3 ½ cups of All Purpose Flour
2 ¼ teaspoons yeast (1 packet)
1 cup granulated sugar
½ tablespoon salt
½ teaspoon nutmeg (finely grated)
2 cups of warm water
Oil for frying
Directions:
Mix 1 cup of warm water and 1 teaspoon sugar in a bowl and then sprinkle yeast.
Allow yeast to activate for 5mins. You should get a good froth like this. If you don't, discard and start all over.
Mix other ingredients in a bowl (minus oil, plus 1 cup warm water), add the activated yeast.
Mix well and allow rise for 1 hour.
After 1 hour of rise, the dough would be double in size with lots of air pockets.
Heat oil up, scoop one tablespoon of dough into the hot oil. If you don't mind being messy like me, you can use your hand for this part...squeeze the dough out from the bottom of your hand to make it rounded for frying.
Fry till it's well browned.
Drain from oil and unto a plate lined with paper towels.

DeleteI made this and it came out perfect!!! Thanks for the recipe!!!
ReplyDeleteHehe...tnx Chiko! So glad you enjoyed it. Mwaaaah!
DeleteChi-chi I get confused with ur measurements... When u write one cup.... What is d measurement in ounces, litres etc? I'm determined to make this puff puff happen.... Lol
ReplyDeleteHi Anon., I use a standard measuring cup. You can see a picture of the measuring cup in my "how to make buttermilk" recipe. If you wanna convert to ounces, litres, kgs etc, ull have to check the conversion on google. I don't have a kitchen scale so I go the easy "measuring cup" route. It's sold in a set in most baking shops for like 350naira (good investment for me).
DeleteI tried dis puff puff recipe last sunday.it came out perfect! D little adjustmnt I made was to reduce the sugar a little bit( becos wen puffpuff cools,it sweetens) nd I added a little nutmeg as well( about a quater of a teasoon)
