Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Maize flour
- 250 milliliters Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the maize flour, salt, and baking powder, whisking together to ensure even distribution.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the water and vegetable oil to a gentle boil.
Remove from heat, and gradually pour the hot mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to form a smooth dough.
Add the lemon juice and knead the dough gently until it becomes smooth and pliable.
Roll the dough into small, bite-sized balls (about 1.5 cm in diameter) and place them on the lined baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.
Gently press down each ball with the back of a spoon to flatten slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.
Allow the puffs to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.
Enjoy these maize puffs plain or with your favorite sugar-free dipping sauces or toppings.
