Puff-puff, as it is called in Nigeria, is a traditional African snack made of fried dough.
Puff-puffs are made of dough containing flour, yeast, sugar, butter, salt, water and eggs (which are optional), and deep fried in vegetable oil to a golden brown color. Baking powder can be used in place of yeast, but yeast is more common.[1] After frying, puff puffs can be rolled in sugar. Like the French beignet and the Italian zeppole, puff-puffs can be rolled in any spice or flavoring such as cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg. They may be served with a fruit dip such as strawberry or raspberry. Cameroonians accompany puff-puffs with beans.[1]
