Nigerian puff puff

Soft, round yeast fritters with a lightly crisp shell and a little nutmeg. From Tunde's Table.

• 300 g Plain flour
• 60 g Sugar
• 2 tsp Instant yeast
• 250 ml Warm water
• 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg
• 750 ml Vegetable oil for frying
• to taste Salt

1. 1

   Mix flour, sugar, yeast, nutmeg and a pinch of salt in a large bowl.

2. 2

   Stir in warm water to make a thick, stretchy batter. Cover and leave in a warm place until doubled, around 45–60 minutes.

3. 3

   Heat oil in a deep heavy pan. A small dab of batter should rise with steady bubbles rather than darken immediately.

4. 4

   Drop small spoonfuls into the oil and fry in batches for 4–5 minutes, turning until golden on all sides.

5. 5

   Drain on a rack or paper towel. Break one open to check the centre is cooked before finishing the remaining batches.
