Nutmeg Infused Sweet Puff Puff

Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 1.5 cups Warm water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 cups Vegetable oil for deep frying
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar(optional)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, yeast, salt, and ground nutmeg until well combined.

2. 2

   Gradually add the warm water and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, mixing by hand or with a wooden spoon until a smooth, thick batter forms.

3. 3

   Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and place it in a warm, draft-free area for 1 to 2 hours until the dough doubles in size.

4. 4

   Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or frying pan over medium heat until it reaches approximately 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

5. 5

   Deflate the risen dough slightly, then use your hand or a small scoop to drop small, round balls of batter into the hot oil.

6. 6

   Fry the dough balls in batches, turning them frequently with a slotted spoon until they are golden brown and cooked through on all sides.

7. 7

   Remove the puff puffs from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease.

8. 8

   While still warm, toss the puff puffs in a bowl with powdered sugar or use a sieve to dust them generously before serving.
