Pas a pas

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, ground nutmeg, and salt. Whisk them together until well combined.

   Uns 2 min

   Nota de cuina: Ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed for consistent results.

2. 2

   Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until a smooth, thick batter forms.

   Uns 3 min

   Nota de cuina: The batter should be thick but pourable; adjust water slightly if needed to reach the desired consistency.

3. 3

   Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until the batter has doubled in size and is bubbly.

   Uns 1 h

   Nota de cuina: A warm oven (turned off) with the light on can create an ideal environment for rising.

4. 4

   Once risen, gently stir the batter to deflate it slightly.

   Uns 1 min

5. 5

   Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches about 175°C (350°F).

   Uns 5 min

   Nota de cuina: Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for even cooking.

6. 6

   Using a small ice cream scoop, a spoon, or your hand, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil.

   Nota de cuina: Dip your spoon or hand in water between drops to prevent the batter from sticking.

7. 7

   Fry the puff-puff in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown on all sides.

   Uns 8 min

   Nota de cuina: Do not overcrowd the pot, as this can lower the oil temperature and result in greasy puff-puff.

8. 8

   Remove the cooked puff-puff with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

   Uns 1 min

9. 9

   Serve warm and enjoy.

   Nota de cuina: Puff-puff can be enjoyed plain or with a light dusting of powdered sugar.
