Advantages of Puff Puff

No Fancy Ingredients Required – The light and fluffy treat comes in different variations, and only requires a handful of ingredients. The best part is that Puff Puff recipes can be tweaked to make the batter sweeter or more savory based on your preference.
Buffrot Puff Puff Mix comes with all the necessary ingredients. Many other Puff Puff mixes do not contain yeast, requiring consumers to go out of their way to purchase an additional ingredient.
Versatility – Puff Puff is a versatile food suitable for any occasion. It can be eaten as a snack, appetizer, main dish or side dish on its own or paired with a sauce. Although it must be stated that most people eat it plain. You can also enjoy it as a dessert by sprinkling a little bit of powdered sugar over it. However you choose to eat it, you can be sure that you will enjoy it! Puff Puff is a perfect blend of textures – soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. By making some slight adjustments to your Puff Puff mix, you can make it softer or crunchier to suit your taste. These flavour-packed bites are the perfect remedy to please just about any palette.

Soft Puff Puff – If you are one of the people who enjoy a softer Puff Puff, all you need to do is add a little more water to the mixture (about 1 to 2 tablespoons). This will create a looser consistency and give you a softer texture.

Crunchy Puff Puff – to achieve a slightly crunchier exterior, make sure that your oil is at the right temperature. Also, do not add too many balls to the frying pan at once. Doing so will cause the balls to absorb too much oil and become soggy.

Easy to Make – Buffrot Puff Puff Mix is perfect for people who have grown to love Puff Puff but may not know how to make it from scratch.
It is also great for people of west African heritage looking for a more convenient way to make a delicious treat that reminds them of home.

Preparation: How to make Puff Puff

Buffrot Puff Puff Mix makes preparing Puff Puff as simple as 1-2-3. Each package contains all the necessary ingredients to make the deliciously tasty Puff Puff. All you need to do is add water and let the batter sit for 30 minutes. Once you have done this, follow the following preparation instructions.
Heat your oil.
Pour cooking oil into a large saucepan until you have about 3 inches of oil in the pan. Turn on the burner and set it to low heat.
Test the heat of the oil.
After a couple of minutes, test the oil to ensure that it is hot enough to fry your Puff Puff. Test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil. If the oil is not hot enough, the batter will sink to the bottom of the pan and stay there. You will know that the oil is hot enough when the batter initially sinks and then rises to the top.
Fry Puff Puff.
You can either use your hands to grab some of the mixture and drop it into the oil, or you can use a spoon to scoop up the batter and a second spoon to scrape the batter off the first spoon and drop it into the oil in a ball shape.
Check for readiness.
After the ball has been frying for a few minutes, check to see if the bottom is golden brown. If it is, this means it is done on that side.
Flip Puff Puff.
Once the bottom of the ball is golden brown, use a spoon to turn the ball over and allow it to fry for a few minutes on that side.
Remove from oil.
Once both sides of your Puff Puff are golden brown, use a large spoon to remove the Puff Puff from the pan and place it in a plate or container lined with a paper towel to absorb some of the excess oil.
Coat Puff Puff.
If you would like a sweeter Puff Puff, sprinkle table sugar, powdered sugar or cinnamon to enhance the taste.
Puff Puff Healthy Alternatives
While there is a substantial amount of oil used in frying Puff Puff, there are ways to make this addictive treat healthier.

Use Olive Oil or Coconut Oil Instead of Vegetable Oil – vegetable and palm oil are higher in calories and fat than coconut oil or virgin olive oil

Add Vegetables – a way to make your Puff Puffs healthier is to add some vegetables or superfoods like grated carrots, Chia seeds or flax seeds.

Add Less Sugar – by reducing the amount of sugar you add to a mixture, or choosing not to coat your Puff Puff in sugar can cut down the amount of sugar you ingest. Another tip is to replace white sugar with brown sugar or honey.
