Peanut Butter and Banana Puff Puff

Puff puff is a classic Nigerian snack. Sweetened yeasted dough that is fried until golden brown. It's comforting and addictive all at once. In this recipe, I put a spin on it by adding some chunky peanut butter and banana. So good you won't be able to stop at one.

 Ingredients

- 2 cups plain flour
- 3 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1/2 cup caster sugar
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1 cup warm water
- 2-3 heap tbsp unsalted crunchy peanut butter, at room temperature
- sunflower oil, for frying

Method

1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast, sugar, mashed banana and warm water. Cover with a tea towel and leave to rise in a warm part of your kitchen for 1 hour.

2. Mix the batter to knock out some of the air bubbles. Add the room temperature peanut butter and fold it gently into the batter. It's okay if there are little lumps of the peanut butter.

3. Heat some oil in a frying pan, enough to deep fry. Once hot, add dollops of the puff puff batter to the oil. Fry in batches of 6-8 at a time, over medium-high heat, until golden brown all over. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with kitchen paper. Repeat this process with the rest of the batter.

4. Serve warm or cold. Store in an airtight container for up to two days. They taste even better on day two, if you're able to resist finishing the batch in one day.
