RECIPE: PUFF-PUFF

PUFF PUFF

 

 INGREDIENTS

•250g of Plain Flour

•20g Granulated Sugar                                                         

•2 level teaspoons of powdered baking yeast/5g fresh yeast

•half teaspoon of salt

•A pinch of ground nutmeg(optional)

•Lukewarm water

•Vegetable Oil (for frying)

Directions

*First dissolve the yeast with warm water and set side

*Pour the flour into a big bowl, add the ground nutmeg, sugar, salt and the powdered yeast:and mix together.If you are making use of  fresh yeast, dissolve the yeast with warm water and add it.

*Now add the water, bit by bit and mix thoroughly.Puff puff is usually mixed by hand, but

you can also  mix with a flat wooden spoon. Mix for about 10minutes or until there are no lumps in it, and the batter is smooth , but it should not be watery.

*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 it has doubled in  size and a little thicker.

*Now, heat up some oil in a deep pot, the oil should be deep enough to cover an egg, so that when you drop the batter into the pot, you won't get a flat puff puff.

*Now do an oil test. This is done by dropping a little of the batter in to the oil.The oil is ready when the puff puff rises to the top.

*Scoop the batter into your palm and drop into the oil by pressing the batter between your thumb and your fore finger(the finger closest to the thumb).

*Fry until brown.Then transfer onto a sieve lined with papertowels. 

  

serve with chilled drinks or hot tea (your choice)
