Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g All-purpose flour
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 7 g Instant yeast
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Nutmeg
- 250 ml Warm water
- 1000 ml Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, instant yeast, salt, and nutmeg. Stir the dry ingredients together until well mixed.
Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or your hands, mix the ingredients until a smooth, sticky dough forms. The dough should be soft but not too wet.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let the dough rest and rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
While the dough is rising, pour the vegetable oil into a deep fryer or heavy-based saucepan. Heat the oil to 175°C (350°F).
Once the dough has risen, use a tablespoon or your hands to scoop small amounts of the dough. Carefully drop the dough into the hot oil.
Fry the Puff Puff in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each batch for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown all over.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried Puff Puff from the oil. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Vegan Puff Puff warm, as a snack or dessert, and enjoy their fluffy goodness.
