Puffys...lol

Hey guys

Have you ever been hungry but not craving real food and you don't feel like going out but you wanna have something simple like a snack, well I think puff puff is the answer.The puff puff sellers usually start frying around evening time but what if I feel like eating it in the morning. Nigerians love puff puff but many of us don't know how easy it is to put together. puff puff is super easy guys, anyone can make it.
Here is my recipe because I have a large family but you can always reduce it by half or double it. whatever you like once you have the basic ingredients..Its just puff puff.

 6 cups of flour
1 Cup of sugar
A dash of nutmeg
2 teaspoons of salt
A tablespoon and half of  instant yeast.
About 3 and 1/2 cups of warm water

Here are the basic ingredients

Add all dry ingredients together
Mix well

Make a well in the middle and add your warm water



Mix well until you have a pretty thick batter, as shown in the video. Then cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes to one hour, just until it has doubled in size.

As you can see my bowl was too small
You should use a bigger bowl so it wont have to rise to the top. Now here's the tricky part..Frying these babies.
Heat up some vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a deep frying pan, you know the oil is ready when you scoop a little and it bubbles back to the top almost immediately. Your oil shouldn't be too hot so they can cook properly but it should be just hot enough so they don't soak too much oil.
Here's how to get them to be round, scoop some of the batter in your hand then squeeze into the hot oil through the hole in between your index finger and thumb...kinda like you're making a fist.
let them fry until they turn golden brown

seee?

yum!
You can see for yourself puff puff = super easy.
Try these at home guys, save yourself the stress of having to walk down to that puff puff vendor or having to queue for these yummy snack.
p.s These are the measuring cups and spoons I use for almost everything. They would make life so much easier. they can be gotten from practically any baker shop and I think they only cost a little over 300 naira.
