Pu pu (called bofrot in Ghana) is a popular West

African street snack made from simple ingredients,.
Flour, sugar and yeast is combined to make a dough
which is then deep fried. This snack is loved by adult
and kids alike. You may elevate it by adding your own
twist from spices like ginger and pepper to dark
chocolate; sky is really the limit.
This is my tested and tried pu pu batter recipe, it
works all the time. Most homecooks know that it can be
somewhat tricky to get it right, here are a few things
that might lead to issues:
Wrong yeast:
Make sure you get quick rise yeast. Regular yeast works
also but it takes about 2-3 hours to properly activate. Get Our Free Rice Recipes in Your

tried making pu pu with it and the yeast
here is in paste form. U have to activate it
with lil warm water. I used that and when I
fried my pu , it turned brown too fast even
though I made sure the oil wasn’t too hot.
Another problem is inside was half done.

Hi!! Unfortunately it doesn’t matter how

much oil you use, that will not change
the absorption rate. Just understand
that pu pu should be treated as
occasional treats if you are trying to
lose weight. If you want to avoid deep

Sooooo…an avid user of your site as there

isn’t really anyone to teach me home dishes
in London…i nally had the courage to try
your pu pu recipe! Although it did rise
when dropped in the pan of oil, prior to that
the batter seems to have a weird smell and
lots bubbles. Is that the yeast and is that
normal? Also it didn’t seem to have much
inside when u bit into the pu pu . I’m
thinking I did some things wrong – 1) I left the
batter overnight 2) I used an electric hand
mixer when I noticed clumps during the step
to add water to the dry ingredients 3) maybe
the water wasn’t warm enough?
Help… :-)
HI HI! 1) overnight is wayyyyyyyyyy too

long for pu pu batter. 45 minutes is
all you need with quick rise yeast and
about 3 hours with regular yeast. 2) a
mixer will overwork the batter. Use
your hands or a whisk- the batter
should be thick with a couple of
bubbles at the top.

Thanks dear….. I am not sure of how to

answer your question. Yeast activity is
greatly reduced when it is exposed to
air, moisture, and/or warmth so it
depends on how you have stored it.
