Nigerian puff puff recipe

Puff puff is one of the favourite snacks for Nigerians and popular street food. It is not only eaten as a snack alone, but you can also eat it any time of the day.

INGREDIENTS

600g all-purpose flour

10g fast action yeast

150g sugar (use as desired)

½ tsp salt

550-650g Lukewarm Water

 cayenne pepper)

1-3tbsp chilli flakes (substitute with cayenne pepper)

Vegetable oil for frying.


In a shallow bowl, add flour and salt together (combine salt with flour first)

Add other dry ingredients and combine well

Add lukewarm water to the dry mixture in bits to form a batter. You can add 500g at first then check if it needs more water. (the batter should not be runny and it shouldn't be thick as well, find a balance in between the two)

Cover the bowl with a cling film or a damp towel and place in a warm place to proof. (Till batter doubles in size usually between an hour or two. You can leave it longer if you want)

Once the mixture has risen and doubled in size, you then move on to frying.

People always find scooping batter in oil very tricky but I tell you it is very easy.

on medium-high heat, add enough oil to a  frying pan and heat till hot. Drop a tiny bit of batter in hot oil to test and if the batter floats to the top of the heat then it is ready to use.

Fry puff puff on both sides till golden brown 

   Repeat the process till you have exhausted the batter.
