About Puff-puff
Puff-Puff is a popular West African snack made from a simple mixture of flour, sugar, yeast, water, and sometimes milk and nutmeg, which is deep-fried until golden brown. Soft and fluffy on the inside with a lightly crisp exterior, Puff-Puff is often enjoyed as a treat at parties, street vendor stalls, or alongside other savory dishes. While the snack is beloved for its rich, comforting flavor, it is high in carbohydrates and calories, primarily due to the sugar content and deep-frying process. Puff-Puff contains some dietary fiber and essential nutrients from the flour and added spices, but it should be consumed in moderation due to its fat content from frying. For a slightly healthier alternative, some recipes incorporate whole wheat flour or replace deep-frying with baking. Despite its indulgent nature, Puff-Puff remains a cherished part of West African culinary tradition, often enjoyed in celebration or as a cultural comfort food.
