Puff Puff Recipe

Ingredients
2 tsp yeast
½ tsp ground nutmeg
Sugar (100g)
¼ tsp salt
Plain Flour (250g)
Warm water for mixing
Vegetable Oil for deep frying

Preparing the Puff-Puff
·         Place the flour in a bowl, then add sugar, salt, yeast, nutmeg and mix together. If your yeast is not powdered, mix it in lukewarm water and leave for 3-5mins then wait for the next step
·         Add warm water in bits to the ingredients above to make the puff-puff rise, till it is fully mixed. You may now add the yeast mix and keep mixing. Avoid getting the mix watery
·         Place foil paper or a plastic cover over the bowl and ensure that it is well covered (Be generous with the use of foil; ensure no room for air is left). Leave for about 30-45mins to rise. You will know it has risen when you see air bubbles in the mix
·         Heat up enough vegetable oil in a very deep pan or pot. When you feel the oil has become hot enough, Place a drop of the puff mix into the oil; If it turns brown and floats then the oil is hot enough
·         Using a scooping spoon or your hands, place several scoops of the mix into the oil as much as the pot can contain, but avoid a mess
·         Turn the puff-puff over when the side on the surface has turned golden brown.
·         When every part is completely dry, take out the puff-puff from the oil and place in a sieve, then onto a kitchen paper to reduce the amount of oil.
·         And your puff-puff is ready to be served
