how come my puff-puffs never come out spongy and..u know.. kinda elastic..the way a true puff-puff shd feel when u bite into it??

I've tried everything...followed steps correctly...but I just aint feelin the puffs I've been makin mennn...

I ate some puffs they served at some event last sunday and I almost wept...they were soooo good ..oh my gosh! spongy..holes inside them..just perfect.

I need help plzzzz....

lol lol
make sure u use fresh yeast something u bought not over 1month old from store even if u never open da pack. U can tell how da puffpuff will be before frying sef depending on how da dough riseses. milk is cheap, u can use that as part of ya wet ingredients too, might help with taste too. but for ya wahala with da 'puff", its a yeast problem

no worries i go come show u how

**Xpensyv_Bodi** · 05-03-2007, 12:29 AM

So I tried again. This time I nailed it...but I found out from a puffpuff professional that if you really wanna get that classic naija puff-puff taste...u gotta leave the milk and egg alone.

Just..

Yeast
Flour
Sugar
Some water

That's it...and I can attest to that! here's my effort

my dough was elastic like whoaahhh

I forgot to take pics of the insides...(to show the holes/sponginess) The whole thing was gone b4 I could turn the stove off

Arinze · 05-03-2007, 02:39 PM

Next time use a real camera. One can't really tell if it's puff puff, buns or even akara sef.

**bigmomma** · 05-03-2007, 05:01 PM

anotehr thing to do is shape it more by scooping it up on the sides of the bowl it forms better

**tomapep** · 05-03-2007, 05:39 PM

Now that you say it, whoever makes puff puff with eggs? Glad that it turned out fine. Hope you got some, yourself.
