Introduction
Puff Puff is a popular West African snack that is easy to make and loved by many. It is typically served at parties, weddings, and other special occasions. Puff Puff is a deep-fried dough that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It can be enjoyed plain or with a variety of toppings.
Ingredients
To make Puff Puff, you will need the following ingredients: - 2 cups of all-purpose flour - 1/2 cup of granulated sugar - 2 teaspoons of instant yeast - 1/2 teaspoon of salt - 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg - 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon - 1 cup of warm water - Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Follow these steps to make Puff Puff: 1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, yeast, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. 2. Add the warm water to the bowl and mix until a smooth batter is formed. The batter should be thick and sticky. 3. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for about 30 minutes. During this time, the batter will rise and become fluffy. 4. Heat up enough vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to deep fry the Puff Puff. 5. Use a spoon or your hands to scoop small portions of the batter and drop them into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides, flipping occasionally. 6. Remove the Puff Puff from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off excess oil. 7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until all the batter is used up. 8. Serve the Puff Puff warm and enjoy!

Tips
- Make sure the water used to make the batter is warm but not too hot, as this can kill the yeast. - If the batter is too thick, add a little more warm water. If it is too thin, add a little more flour. - To get perfectly round Puff Puff balls, wet your hand with water and roll the batter between your palms before dropping it in the oil. - You can add other spices and flavors to the batter, such as vanilla extract, grated coconut, or ground ginger. - To keep the Puff Puff warm and crispy, place them in a preheated oven at 200°F until ready to serve.
