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
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, instant yeast, salt, and nutmeg. Stir the dry ingredients together until well mixed.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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).
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Serve the Vegan Puff Puff warm, as a snack or dessert, and enjoy their fluffy goodness.
