Crunchy on the outside with a soft, melt-in-mouth center, this banana puff puff is the most delicious way to use those ripe bananas on your countertop.
Mash the bananas in a plate or bowl and set aside.
Whisk lukewarm water, sugar and yeast in a large bowl till the yeast dissolves.
Add the mashed bananas and whisk. Add the flour, powdered milk, salt and nutmeg. Mix with a spoon or hand till well combined. The batter has to be wet and sticky.
Cover and let it rise for 1 hour 30 minutes or till it doubles in size.
After proofing, use a spoon to stir to release trapped air bubbles gently.
Heat oil to 350℉ in a deep pot. Oil should be at least 3 inches deep.
Scoop with your hand, scoop ice cream, or use a measuring spoon ( tablespoon with a round base) and deep fry. Watch the Video to see 4 ways how to scoop puff puff. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Stir often so they all have the same colour and cook evenly. Fry until golden brown.
Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel to absorb extra oil. Serve warm.
