About Puff puff

Puff Puff is a popular West African snack made from a simple batter of flour, sugar, yeast, water, and sometimes a pinch of salt or nutmeg for flavor. The mixture is allowed to rise, then shaped into small balls and deep-fried until golden brown. Traditionally enjoyed as a savory or sweet treat, Puff Puff can be served plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or paired with sauces for added taste. While Puff Puff provides quick energy due to its carbohydrate-rich content, its deep-fried preparation makes it high in fat and calories, which might not align with healthier eating goals when consumed in excess. However, occasional indulgence as part of a balanced diet can be a delightful way to explore this delicious aspect of West African cuisine.
