GT Food Talk: How To Make Puff Puff Without Yeast

Have you ever thought about how to make puff puff without yeast but with plain yogurt instead?

Well, If you love making puff puff but cannot wait for about an hour to allow the batter to rise before frying? Then, you can try using yogurt. The yogurt contains active cultures that act like yeast.

However, you should not use Greek yogurt, because it could change the taste.

This easy and quick snack, appetizer, or dessert can be ready in less than 30 minutes without yeast to cut down on rise time especially if you’re in a hurry as prepared by food content creator, Dolapo Grey.

Ingredients

• 3 cups flour
• 4 tsps baking powder

Method

• Pour all the dry ingredients into a bowl.
• Mix all ingredients thoroughly with a whisk to combine properly.

• Pour some oil into a deep pot and allow to heat up.
• scoop some batter into the oil with an ice cream scoop or your hand and fry on medium heat.
• Put in more scoops of the batter, as much as the space in the frying pot will allow without overcrowding.
• Repeat the process with the remaining batter and fry until golden brown on both sides
• Place puff puffs in a paper towel to soak excess oil.
• Serve as a snack or appetizer and enjoy!
