Easy Buns Recipe ~ Nigerian Snack

Growing up, although my Mom was a teacher and had a teaching job, but she was very business inclined, she sold gold jewelries and she supplied various dishes for people. She catered for numerous occasions, ranging from supplying buns to the school where she taught to cooking variety of meals for meetings and conferences.

I watched her prepare these dishes and develop numerous recipes. I was always by her side because I had so much interest in cooking. I remembered waking up early in the morning to help mix and fry the buns and package them for delivery. I was very much involved in every single dish prepared in the house, so that was how I learnt very much how to cook, yes!!!

So for today, I would be sharing my mom's very own buns recipe.

Ingredients

2 cups of plain all purpose flour

1/2 cup of granulated sugar

1 small nutmeg

1 teaspoon of baking powder

1/2 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda

1and 1/2 cups of water

pinch of salt

For Frying

Deep frying pan or a deep pot

Frying oil

Preparations

In a big or medium bowl, add all the dry ingredients.

Then add in the water and mix all together with your hand until well combined.

Cover the bowl with a foil, leave for about 30-45 minutes.

In a deep frying pan, add frying oil just above half the pot or pan and then heat up.

Once heated, scoop in the buns mix with your hand {please do not scoop in too much at a time, because it's going to suck oil}.

Fry until golden brown. Once the first batch is done, reduce the gas heat and scoop in the second batch. 

Allow the buns to rise before you turn back the heat. {the reason we reduce the gas heat is because the oil is already too hot, if you add the buns in an over heated oil, it will just brown the buns leaving the inside uncooked}.

Fry until golden brown.
