Sift 2 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour to remove unwanted particles.

Add 1 tbsp of nutmeg and salt to taste to the flour and mix well.

Add 1 tbsp of sugar and 1 tbsp of dried yeast to a different bowl.

Pour in some lukewarm water and stir to combine, then cover and let it prove for about 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, check that the yeast has activated and add it to the flour mixture.

Stir everything together using a spatula until well incorporated.

Slowly add water while stirring until the mixture turns into a thick but smooth batter.

Cover the bowl with clean film and let the dough rise in a warm place for approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour until doubled in size.

After about 30 minutes, check that the dough has risen beautifully.

Mix the dough to reduce some of the air in it.

Heat vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat for frying.

Scoop a small amount of dough to test if the oil is hot enough; it should float when ready.

Carefully drop scoops of dough into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.

Fry on low medium heat until the puff puff turns a perfect golden brown color, flipping them gently to cook evenly.

Once golden brown and floating, remove the puff puff and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
