1

Heat oil in a medium or large pot for deep frying.

2

Test the oil by dropping in one or two tester balls; if they sizzle and rise to the top, the oil is ready.

3

Scoop the dough in your palm, make a fist, and guide the dough through the opening between your thumb and pointer finger, tilting downwards to release it into the oil.

4

Drop in as many dough balls as you can until the pot is full, then leave them to fry.

5

Once the puff puff turns golden brown on one side, flip them over to fry the other side.

6

Remove the puff puff from the oil and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
