Every Nigerian party has featured these adorable rolls. To be honest I don’t think you can call puff puff a roll, its more like a bite sized doughnut. Personally every time I think of puff puff I can almost hear the owambe (party) music and smell that party rice. (doing a mini dance as i’m writing this). What I have realized however, with puff puff is that it doesn’t have to be type cast to the small chops basket on your table. It’s amazing all by itself or however you choose to dress it up.
Enjoy!
Recipe
Ingredients
2 cups of All Purpose flour
1 tablespoon of yeast
3/4 cup of Sugar

Heat up the oil and use your hand to scoop out small portions of the mixture and plop in the oil.
Fry until golden brown and serve warm.

Aunty (LOL) how many servings or Puff Puff does this make?
Well it would serve a small group maybe 6 people depending on the size of your scoop and the appetite of your guests.
Dare I fry in OLIVE Oil?
You can fry in olive oil
It wouldn’t affect the taste
