Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Instant yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, sugar, instant yeast, salt, and ground nutmeg. Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Gradually add warm water to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until a smooth and thick batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to hold together when picked up with a spoon but should still be soft.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the batter rest in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour until it doubles in size. This allows the yeast to activate and rise.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). To test if the oil is ready, drop a small portion of the batter into the oil; if it sizzles and rises to the top, the oil is ready.
Using two tablespoons, scoop up a portion of the batter and carefully drop it into the hot oil. Repeat with more batter, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the batter balls for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden brown all over.
Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the puff puffs from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve warm as a snack or dessert. Enjoy your gluten-free puff puff with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, syrup, or your favorite dipping sauce!
