Boil water in a pot.

Hold the fufu flour in your left hand and use a whisk in your right hand.

Pour the fufu flour into the boiling water while mixing with the whisk simultaneously to avoid lumps.

Eyeball the amount of water needed based on desired consistency of the fufu.

Once the fufu thickens, switch to a wooden spoon to stir.

Knead the fufu with the spoon, applying pressure to mix well and make it elastic.

If the fufu is too soft, add more flour; if too hard, add more water.

Cover the pot and let it cook for 5 to 10 minutes on medium heat.

After 5 to 10 minutes, check that it has cooked down properly and there is no steam.

Beat the fufu again to achieve the desired elasticity and consistency.

Transfer the fufu to cling film for later use.
