Introduction
Puff Puff is one of Nigeria’s most loved snacks — soft, sweet, and perfect for any occasion. But traditional recipes need yeast and time to rise, usually 30–60 minutes.
If you don’t want to wait, this No Yeast Puff Puff recipe is the perfect solution. Made with self-rising flour and yogurt, it’s quick, fluffy, and golden brown — ready in just minutes!
Ingredients
To make this easy Puff Puff without yeast, you’ll need:
- 4 cups self-raising flour
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg (or cinnamon, or both)
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 cups yogurt
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the batter
Sift the self-raising flour into a large bowl. Add nutmeg (or cinnamon) and sugar, then mix well. Pour in the yogurt and stir until you get a smooth, thick batter.
Step 2: Heat the oil
Pour vegetable oil into a deep pot and heat on medium. Test with a small drop of batter — if it browns too quickly, reduce the heat.
Step 3: Fry the Puff Puff
Scoop small portions of batter into the oil. Fry until golden brown on the outside and soft on the inside.
Step 4: Serve and enjoy
Remove the Puff Puff from the oil, drain on a paper towel, and serve warm.
