Puff Puff

Ingredients

• 4 cups plain flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 cups warm water, approximately
• 1 teaspoon vanilla, optional
• Vegetable oil for frying

How to make it

1. Mix flour, sugar, yeast, salt and nutmeg in a large bowl.
2. Add warm water gradually and mix into a thick, stretchy batter. Add vanilla if desired.
3. Cover and leave in a warm place for 45 to 60 minutes until doubled and bubbly.
4. Heat oil over medium heat. Test with a tiny amount of batter; it should rise steadily without burning.
5. Scoop small portions of batter into the oil and fry in batches, turning for even browning.
6. Drain and cool slightly before serving.
