Ingredients
- 1 Box of The Quirky Oven Puff Puff Mix
- 420ml Warm Water
- 1 Litre Cooking oil
Instructions
- • Rip and tip the content into a bowl and add 420ml of warm water. Get mixing with a spatula until it’s well combined.
- • Cover the bowl with cling film or a clean tea towel and leave in warm place until it has doubled in size, should take about 45min to an hour.
- • Heat 2-3 inches of oil in a deep pan on medium heat until it reaches 190C/375F, or a cube of bread dropped in sizzles and turns golden in 30 seconds.
- • Scoop some of the batter into the oil using your hand or scoop, avoid overcrowding the pan and fry for 3-5 minutes or until golden-brown, and then carefully turn over. Remove from the hot oil with a slotted spoon and drain on plate lined with kitchen paper.
- • Best Served Warm!
Notes
- Note: Continue to check the oil temperature – too hot and the Puff-Puff will fry quickly but the centre will be raw; too low and they’ll absorb the oil and become greasy.
