Ingredients:

• 2 cup plain white flour
• 2 cup warm water
• 3 cups vegetable oil, or more
• 1 teaspoon dry yeast, active
• 1/2 cup sugar, or less
• 1/4 teaspoon grounded pepper
• Half onion, grated (optional)

Procedure:

• In a medium bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and mix well
• Pour in water and mix well to form a sticky, stretchy batter. Cover the bowl with a clean napkin and leave to rise in a warm area for about 1 hour
• The batter should have turned out bubbly and doubled in size. Mix very well to knock out some of the air
• Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large frying pan. To test the temperature, add a spoonful of the mixture, once it turns golden brown, the oil is hot enough.
• Start adding spoonfuls of the batter to the oil and avoid overcrowding the fryer/pan, and fry until it turns golden brown, this should take about 5 minutes. Then flip the other side over and fry for a few minutes or until it turns golden brown as well 

The traditional way is to use your hands to scoop the mixture in, forming round ball shapes.

• Once  the puff puff is golden brown on all sides, remove from oil and drain using kitchen paper

And you're done!!
