How're you? I had a very busy weekend as I was bringing to life my long awaited painting project.
In addition to my painting project, got to do all my daily activities on weekends. Though difficult, you got to do what you got to do!
Having contractors at my home doing their work, and catering for my family was a bit of a hazel.
Been on the go, I decided to make a yummy appetizer for my boys, which kept them up till lunch and dinner time. This is a Cameroonian famous recipe called beignet or puff puff.
Wheat or white flour beignet/puff
Ingredients:
1kg of wheat or white flour
1 spoon of salt
15 spoon of sugar
1 pack or 2 1/4 tsp of yeast
1 cup or 250 ml of liquid milk
1 cup of water or more till desired texture
2 litters of vegetable oil to fry
Preparation:
• sieve and mix all dry ingredients (flour, sugar, and salt) in a bowl or large pot
• dilute yeast in water and leave for 20 mins or until yeast rises.
• Pour out yeast in dry ingredients
• add warm milk and water into dry ingredients and mix very well with clean hands or a wooden spatula until soft and fluffy
• add water till you feel the mixture is smooth and fluffy
• texture shouldn't be too hard or soft, but enough to be able to make small balls with fingers
Close or cover pot/bowl for an hour
• pour vegetable oil in a deep saucepan or pot and heat to high
• use dough to make small ball shapes with fingers, cut patr and then fry dough in hot oil
• After frying dry the puff puff or beignet by putting them into a new brown bag and shake it up to remove Let of the oil
•Let cool for 10 minutes and serve
Serving
This can be eaten with Sautée beans or serve as an appetizer
Makes upto 50 to 60 puffs puffs; need more? Double or tripple the measurement of ingredients.
Bon Apetit!
