Ingredients You’ll Need:
All-purpose flour: Perfect for that chewy dough
Sugar: You can adjust this to suit your taste.
Active dry yeast: Ensure you proof the yeast to know if it’s alive before using it.
Salt: You can adjust this to your taste.
Water: Adjust for batter consistency.
Vegetable oil: For puff puff, you’ll need a lot of oil for deep frying
Directions:
Step 1: Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, mix the yeast, a pinch of sugar, and 1/4 cup of the lukewarm water. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Step 2: Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture and the remaining lukewarm water. Mix well until you get a smooth, thick batter. It should be stretchy and a bit thicker than pancake batter.
Step 3: Let It Rise:
Cover the bowl with a clean towel or plastic wrap. Let the batter rise in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Step 4: Fry the Puff Puff:
Heat oil in a deep pan or pot to 350°F (175°C). Scoop small amounts of batter (using your hand or a spoon) and drop into the hot oil. Fry in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides (about 4–6 minutes per batch). Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve!
Now you can enjoy warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or served with a dip!
