Preparation
Preparing the Batter
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, nutmeg, and salt.
Ensure the water is not too hot to avoid killing the yeast.
Add Wet Ingredients
Add the vanilla extract and gradually mix in warm water, stirring until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.
Cover and Rise
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the batter rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Allowing the batter to rise properly gives it its fluffiness and height.
Cooking Process
Heat the Oil
Pour enough oil into a deep pan for frying and heat until hot but not smoking.
Shape the Puff Puffs
Using your hands or a spoon, scoop portions of the batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil.
Fry Until Golden
Fry until golden brown and fluffy, turning occasionally for even cooking.
