The Puff Puff Basics

Before we dive into the spicy goodness, let’s start with the basics. Puff puff is a beloved Nigerian snack, known for its airy, doughnut-like texture. Traditionally sweet, these bite-sized treats have been a staple at family gatherings, celebrations, and street corners for generations.
But why stick to tradition when you can add a dash of creativity? We’ll show you how to make puff puff with a fiery kick!

What You’ll Need

    Here’s a quick rundown of the ingredients:
    2 cups of all-purpose flour
    1 tablespoon of sugar
    1 teaspoon of salt
    2 teaspoons of yeast
    1 cup of lukewarm water
    1 finely chopped onion
    1 diced pepper (you can choose your preferred level of heat)

The Process

Now, let’s break down the steps:
Activate the Yeast: Start by dissolving the yeast in lukewarm water. This is where the magic begins. Watch it froth and come to life. It’s like a mini science experiment in your kitchen!
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture and stir until you have a smooth batter.
Add the Heat: Gently fold in the chopped onions and diced pepper. The aroma alone will have your taste buds tingling in anticipation.
Let It Rest: Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the batter rest for about 45 minutes. This is the perfect time to check out our other exciting recipes, like convenience foods, egg rolls, and meat pies without an oven.
Fry to Perfection: Heat some oil in a deep pan. Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown. The sizzle and pop as you fry these beauties will keep you entertained.
Serve and Enjoy: Once they’re cooked to crispy, spicy perfection, remove them from the oil and drain on a paper towel. Serve hot and watch them disappear faster than you can say “BBlicious!”
