Product Information

If using fresh baking yeast, first dissolve fresh yeast (if using) in a little warm water and set aside. This is similar to but different from what is called Bofrot in Ghana. There are also similar recipes in East and South Africa called Mandazi (fried dough), in France called Beignet, and in Italy Zeppole just to mention a few. Most Pidgin English speakers in Nigeria love saying a word twice for emphasis. Borrow Borrow. Fear Fear. Cry Cry. Know Know. So, it comes as no surprise to hear them add another word to puff – a light pastry case, typically one made of puff pastry, containing a sweet or savoury filling – and come up with Puff Puff. Yes, you can make puff puff without yeast by using baking powder as a leavening agent, but it will have a slightly different texture and taste.

You know, the hot ones straight off the oil are just irresistibly good. And don’t get me started on the aroma that takes over the atmosphere as Puff Puff fries! Now, pour the oil into a fairly big deep pan. The oil should be at least 3 inches deep. Place on a hob on medium heat. Perform an oil test by dropping a bit of batter into the oil. The oil is ready when the puff puff rises to the top. Leave to rise for about 45 minutes. When OK to fry, the Puff Puff batter should have risen in quantity and will have some air bubbles.There are a few ways of forming puff puff and it solely depends of the dough’s consistency. If you work with a runny batter, one or two tablespoons will be helpful to form a rounded piece, but you should not expect a perfectly ball-shaped doughnut. Mix all dry ingredients (flour, sugar, yeast, salt, and nutmeg) using a spatula until well combined.

When both sides are golden brown, take out the puff puff balls and place in a sieve. If you want to reduce the oil on your Puff Puff as much as possible, then line your sieve with paper towels. The paper towels help soak away the excess oil on the puff puff. Meanwhile, heat up some vegetable oil in a deep pot. You should have enough oil to cover all of the puff puffs that you add to it. Adding nutmeg to this recipe is optional but if you like the subtle flavour it gives it, then it is necessary to add it. When the oil is hot enough, scoop some batter into the oil with your hand by pressing the batter to come out from between your thumb and index finger. You should see the video for this technique as this is what will make your Puff Puff have a near-perfect spherical shape. Yes, you can make vegan puff puff by using plant-based milk and omitting dairy ingredients like butter or milk if you have that in your ingredient list.

You will need 90-120 minutes to let the batter rise making the total cook time 2.5 hours however it is worth the time. Pour the proofed yeast and the remaining one cup of water together with the dry ingredients and mix until the batter is lump-free.

NOTE: Baking powder is a popular yeast substitute in baking and fried pastry making, and it’s already included with the addition self-rising flour. Add oil into a frying pan till it is between 3-5 inches deep. Any shallower will mean that your puff puff will end up flat, rather than round. After you have activated the yeast, it’s time to make the batter. First, add flour, a bit of nutmeg, and ground pepper to the mixing bowl. Stir everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough here, as it can result in tough puff puff, and no one wants that! More recently, people have become more creative, adding ingredients like cocoa powder and coconut flakes to puff puffs to give them a fun twist! How to Make Puff Puff With Pepper – Just add the pepper to the other ingredients. An idea is to add a teaspoon of pepper to 3 cups of flour, or more if you want it to be hotter.

Use lukewarm water to mix the batter. The water should be slightly warm to the touch and around 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43 degrees Celsius). If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast. If the water is too cold, the yeast might not activate.

First, you’ll start with warm (but not hot!) water in a mixing bowl. If the water is too hot, it can kill the yeast. And we want that yeast to be as active as possible to make these really puff! Next, add salt, sugar, and active dry yeast to the water in the bowl. Pour the flour into a big bowl, add the ground nutmeg, sugar, salt and the dry yeast(or fresh yeast mixture): and mix together.
