HOW TO MAKE PUFF PUFF - MUMMY'S RECIPE

,
 The last time my mom came to Lagos she made puff-puff and I got a lot of requests to film a recipe. Now on my trip to Warri I whipped out the camera and begged mummy to make puff-puff. It was so delicious and she had her own signature recipe that includes ....pepper and onions! This gives it a different flavour from the puff-puff you get anywhere. I think this is why my dad is happier on days when he eats puff-puff. Fun fact: this ceramic bowl below is older than I am! My mom won it in a school competition when she was a teenager and imagine...we still have it! I also have an extremely easy way to make Puff Puff HERE 


INGREDIENTS
1 cup of warm water
1 Egg (Optional)
Ata Rodo/Blended dry Pepper
2¼-teaspoon dry yeast 
¼ cup sugar
1 medium Onion Bulb (Optional)
Pinch of salt
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon Nutmeg/Cinnamon 
Vegetable Oil 
1 cup of warm water

PREPARATION
  • Add flour, salt, sugar, nutmeg, yeast, dry pepper and flour in a bowl, mix together. This is the type of yeast that you can add directly to your flour without proofing in warm water.
  • Add your egg (egg makes your pancakes fluffier but it's optional). Mix it in the flour while gradually adding warm water. 
  • Place the mixture in a warm place i.e your warm oven or warm microwave. Keep it there to rise for about and 1 hour 30 minutes. It will double in size. If it doesn't it means something is wrong with your yeast. 
  • Pour vegetable oil in a deep pan and place on medium heat. Add the bulb of Onion now to test how hot the oil is. It gives a nice flavour but optional too.
  • Now scoop the mixture with your fingers and transfer to the plan of oil (See video to see how this is done). Getting perfect round puff-puffs is an art...LOL. I'm not quite there yet. 
  • Fry batch by batch so that you don't overcrowd the pan. Flip it when it gets brown, until it is a nice golden brown. 
  • Transfer from the pan to another bowl to drain the oil!

Enjoy!

    Mums, they are famous for always keeping things for years. Lol.
    I tried my hands on Puff-puff recently and ended up making sth that looked like cake but as heavy as a cement. It just sank into the bottom of the pot. I had to hide the disgrace so my husband wouldn't see it and laugh. This your recipe seems easier to follow. Will try it out

    Dear Yemmie

    Thank you for allowing me to create my first every perfect puff puff
    In the past my puff puff would turn to akara shaped puff once it was time for frying
    I got confused and tired of trying different trecipies and i can't count how many batches i had to throw away
    I tried your recipie two days ago and nailed it! Thank you thank you thank you!
