Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Instant dry yeast
- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of instant dry yeast, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/4 tsp of salt.
- 2Gradually add 1 cup of warm water to the dry ingredients and mix until you have a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to hold its shape slightly but still pourable.
- 3Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and place it in a warm, draft-free spot for 1 hour. The batter should double in size.
- 4Pour 2 cups of vegetable oil into a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 5Carefully spoon small portions of the risen batter (about 1 tablespoon each) into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot; fry in batches if necessary. Fry for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the puff puff are golden brown and float to the surface.
- 6Use a slotted spoon to remove the puff puff from the hot oil. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- 7Serve the puff puff warm.
