🇳🇬 Nigeria recipe

Puff Puff

Puff Puff is Nigeria's most iconic street snack, irresistible golden balls of fried dough that are crispy on the outside, fluffy and airy on the inside, and lightly sweet with a hint of nutmeg. Found at every street corner, market, and celebration across Nigeria, puff puff is the ultimate crowd-pleasing treat that brings joy to children and adults alike. The yeast-leavened dough requires patience to rise properly, but the result is a perfectly light, pillowy doughnut ball that disappears within minutes of being served.
