Mix the dry ingredients

• Combine the flour, sugar, yeast, salt and nutmeg in a mixing bowl.

Make the batter

• Pour in the warm water gradually while whisking until smooth and lump-free.
• The batter should be thick but still drop from the whisk.

Let the batter rise

• Cover the bowl and leave the batter in a warm place until doubled in size and bubbly.

Heat the oil

• Heat the oil in a deep fryer or deep pan to about 170 °C.

Fry the puff puff

• Scoop small portions of batter with your hand or a spoon and drop them gently into the hot oil.
• Fry in batches, turning, until golden brown and cooked through.
• Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
