All You Need!!
3 cups of self-raising flour
1/4 cup sugar (you can add more if you want but I like mine with less sugar)
1 medium nutmeg (grated)
I sachet fast action dried yeast or I tablespoon dried yeast
Pinch of salt
450 ml of warm water or 2 cups of warm water (measure out 3 tablespoons from the 2 cups. i.e. 2 cups minus 3 tablespoons to get the perfect water measurement)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract (optional)
Frying Oil for deep frying (its deep frying, so we need a lot)
Steps
- Add all dry ingredients into a bowl {flour, nutmeg, yeast, sugar and salt}, set aside.
- Pour the measured water into a jug, add the vanilla extract and stir together.
- Pour into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix with you hand until well combined (to ensure that your puff puff dough is perfect; write 8 on the dough using the dough; if it doesn't disappear immediately, then you are so on point but if it does, please add little flour}
- Cover the bowl with a foil/cling film and cover again with a tea towel.
- Put in a warm place, I usually put mine in the oven {please do not turn it on oo!!!!!}. Leave it in there for at least 30 - 40 minutes that is, if you are in a rush. You can leave it as long as you want.

- Once the oil is heated, drop a sample in {I use my hand/fingers always}; just to see it the oil is hot enough. If the oil is not ready yet, please allow few more seconds but if it is, drop few more {don't drop too much in because it is going to suck oil}.
- Fry until brown {turn them time and again so they brown evenly}. Turn down the heat or turn it off and drop in another batch, once they are all risen, turn up the heat. Repeat for the remaining puff dough.
Enjoy with a class of milk/wine/juice, anything really!!
**I will try and make a very short video on how you can use you hand/finger to drop in the puff-puff dough and get that perfect shape...**
You can store puff-puff in the fridge, warm the next day or whenever you want to eat them and munch away...
