Lucia Ginger "Puff Puff" recipe
Puff-Puff, Mikate, Gbofloto, Beignet… these are only some of the names given to this delicious African snack food. It can be served for breakfast, snack time or even as a dinner party dessert. The recipe has many versions, but here will show you how to make the puff puff with self-raising flour. The ingredients are quite basic, all you need is:
• Self-rising flour,
• Sugar
• Water
• Oil to deep fry
The fun part is that you can decide what to add to the mix for extra flavour. Our favourites are the ginger puff-puff and the banana puff-puff, but you can add anything you want – coconut, cinnamon, nutmeg, orange or lemon zest… you name it! Oh... I almost forgot! We don't put any eggs or dairy, so their perfect for vegan too!
