BANANA PUFF PUFF
Friends, have you ever had overripe bananas sitting miserably in your kitchen and you had no idea what to do with them? Worry no more. Banana Puff Puff to the rescue! This is puff puff redefined. The flavour of banana in there is a HUGE boost to the flavour. We love the fact that you do not need to add any extra sugar. The bananas are sufficiently sweet. If you are anything like us, you are often looking for ways to kick out the extra sugar. These balls of goodness are a sure way to do so.Please make sure you use very ripe bananas so your banana puff puffs come out tasty. If for some reason, your bananas are not ripe enough or sweet enough, feel free to put in a little bit of sugar.These days, we have been hit by a hurricane of overripe bananas in our kitchen. Don’t ask us where the hurricane came from. Our girls have gotten tired of chewing bananas so we're coming up with more ways to make them enjoy this fruit. They have enjoyed, Banana Pancakes, they REGULARLY enjoy Banana Bread and one of our latest additions to the banana party are these Banana Puff Puffs. This recipe, which we have equally shared with our friends at SDK is seriously so easy.Here is all you will need:3 overripe bananas
3 cups of flour2 teaspoons of dry yeast1/2 teaspoon nutmegA quarter teaspoon saltHalf cup liquid milk1 cup warm water1 litre vegetable oil for fryingDirectionsStep 1Mix yeast and warm water in a bowl.
Step 2Peel and blend bananas together with milk and pour into yeast and water mixture.
Step 3Add in flour, nutmeg and salt.
Step 4Mix everything together to form a thick batter.Step 5Cover with a plastic wrap and/or kitchen towel and put in a warm place to rise for about one hour. We normally heat our oven for about a minute, turn it off and put it in there. You could also put it in a microwave just after food has been heated in it. Note that if you put it in a place that is not warm enough, it will not rise. After one hour, it must have doubled in size.Step 6Heat oil on medium heat.Use your hand to scoop about spoonfuls of the batter and drop into the oil. If this process is tedious for you, just use a tablespoon to put the batter in the oil. Dip the spoon into water from time to time so the batter comes off easily.Step 7Allow to fry on medium heat until one side is golden brown then you flip to the other side. Remove and place on paper towels to absorb oil. That’s it, friends! It is crunchy on the outside, fluffy and chewy on the inside. We love devouring these puff puffs with Ovaltine (a malt and barley) beverage for breakfast. worth making again!
