Notes
-
- Activate the yeast: Use warm water (not hot) to dissolve the yeast and sugar. Let it foam to ensure it's active.
- Don't overmix the dough: Keep it soft and sticky, then let it rise until it doubles in size (1-2 hours).
- Fry at the right temperature: Heat oil to 350°F - 375°F for crispy puff puff. Test the oil by dropping a small dough piece in to check if it sizzles.
- Fry in small batches: Avoid overcrowding to maintain the right oil temperature. Oil must be 3 inches deep.
- Shape evenly: Make uniform-sized dough balls for even cooking.
- Drain excess oil: Use paper towels or a cooling rack to remove oil after frying
- Reduce or turn off heat each time you are frying new batch and turn back on when new batch comes in so it cooks evenly.
