Puff puff nigeriano fácil

Ingredientes

• 700 g of plain flour
• 10 g of fast action yeast
• 230 g of granulated sugar (see notes)
• 1/2 tbsp of nutmeg
• 1/2 Tbsp of salt
• 650 ml of lukewarm
• vegetable oil or sunflower oil

Preparación

1. 1

   Mix the flour, yeast, sugar, salt and nutmeg in one bowl until well combined.

2. 2

   Add 1/3 of the luke warm water to the dry ingredients and mix using your hands or a spatula. Repeat this step until the batter is smooth. It should have medium-thick consistency, like pancake batter.

3. 3

   Next, cover the dough with a clean cloth. Make sure the cloth does not touch the dough as it will rise later. Use a cloth to cover the dough rather than plastic wrap or a lid because the dough needs air to grow. Then, leave the dough to rise in a warm place for 1 - 1 hour 30 minutes.

4. 4

   Once the dough has risen, heat oil in a saucepan or deep fryer, then scoop the dough into your hands and squeeze it into the oil to form a ball. Repeat this with the remaining dough and cook for about seven minutes or until golden brown on medium heat.

5. 5

   Place puff puffs in a paper towel to soak excess oil.

6. 6

   Serve puff puff as a snack or appetizer and enjoy!
