Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, salt, and ground nutmeg. Stir until well mixed.
2. Gradually add the water and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously. Mix until you achieve a smooth, thick batter with no lumps.
3. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth or plastic wrap and let the batter rise at room temperature for approximately 45 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
4. Once the batter has risen, heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5. Using your hand or a tablespoon, scoop small portions of the batter and gently drop them into the hot oil. To maintain the desired shape, wet your palm with water to help release the dough easily.
6. Fry the batter in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Cook each batch for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the puff-puff balls are golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.
7. Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried puff-puffs from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
8. Serve warm as a delightful snack or dessert. Enjoy your gluten-free Nigerian puff-puff!
