Puff Puff Recipe (Soft, Fluffy & Easy!)

Puff Puff is one of the most popular West African snacks — soft, airy, lightly sweet, and deep-fried to golden perfection. This simple puff puff recipe requires only a few ingredients and gives perfect results every time!

🥘 Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water (adjust as needed)
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Oil for deep frying

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Activate the Yeast

  • Mix warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl.
  • Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.

2. Make the Batter

  • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and nutmeg.
  • Pour the yeast mixture into the flour.
  • Stir until you get a thick, stretchy batter.
  • Cover and let it rise for 45–60 minutes.

3. Fry the Puff Puff

  • Heat oil in a deep pot.
  • Scoop small portions of batter using your hand or spoon.
  • Fry on medium heat until golden brown.
  • Remove and drain on a paper towel.

✨ Tips for Best Puff Puff

  • Use warm water — not hot — to activate yeast properly.
  • Allow enough rising time for airy puff puff.
  • Fry on medium heat for even color and texture.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

  • Serve warm with powdered sugar
  • Enjoy with chocolate sauce or caramel
  • Pair with spicy pepper sauce (Nigerian style)
  • Serve at parties, breakfast, or as a quick snack

📌 FAQs About Puff Puff

1. Why isn't my puff puff rising?

The water may have been too hot or too cold for the yeast. Use warm water only.

2. Can I make puff puff without yeast?

Yes, you can use baking powder, but the texture will be more like fritters.

3. Why is my puff puff soaking too much oil?

The oil is not hot enough. Always heat oil fully before frying.

4. Can I bake puff puff?

Yes, but the texture will be slightly different — more like soft buns.

5. How long can puff puff stay fresh?

It stays good for up to 2 days at room temperature.
