Notes

  1. For the process of dropping the batter into the oil, check out my Nigerian puff puff post to see the technique. Alternatively you can use an ice cream scoop, a piping bag or a batter dispenser.
  2. If you are allergic to eggs, you can skip the eggs and add 2 Tbsp extra water to the batter or use flax egg ( egg substitute made by mixing water with ground golden flax seeds at a ratio of 3:1 )
