Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
- 3 cups vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and grated nutmeg.
Slowly add water to the dry ingredients, stirring consistently until a smooth and thick batter forms. Ensure there are no lumps.
Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let the batter rise for 1-2 hours in a warm place until it doubles in size.
Once the batter has risen, use a wooden spoon to deflate it slightly and mix it well.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Ensure that the oil is deep enough to submerge the batter fully.
Using a tablespoon or your hand, scoop small portions of the batter and gently drop them into the hot oil.
Fry the puffs in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry each batch for about 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and cooked through.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the puff puffs, draining excess oil on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve warm and enjoy your low sodium puff puff.
