What is Puff puff?
Puff puff is a classic deep-fried dough ( Donut ) popular in African countries. It is a golden brown ball with a fluffy, soft, cloud-like texture in the center and a bit of a crunch on the outside.
The Different Names of Puff puff ( African donuts )!
Nigerians and Sierra Leoneans call this delicious donut-like treat Puff Puff, but it goes by many names across Africa and beyond. In Ghana, people refer to it as Bofrot, while in Cameroon, it’s known as Beignets. South Africans enjoy it as Amagwinya or Vetkoek. In Ivory Coast, locals call it Gbofloto, and Eritreans know it as Maglia.
Gabonese people refer to it as Gateaux Farine, and in Liberia, it’s called Kala. In Botswana, the name is Magwinya, while in Malawi it becomes Mandasi. Zimbabweans call it Fat Cooks or Fat Cakes.
Outside of Africa, the name changes once again. Brazilians know it as Bolinho de Chuva, and in France and much of the Western world, it’s recognized as Beignet.
Different Way to Eat Puff puff!
You can enjoy Puff Puff for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, or even dessert. People eat it in many different ways. In Ghana, for example, locals typically enjoy Puff Puff for breakfast with fermented corn pudding, known as Koko—or pap/akamu in Nigeria.
As a dessert, many pair Puff Puff with custard, smoothies, yogurt, condensed milk, chocolate sauce, caramel, or various jam flavors. Some people sprinkle powdered sugar on top to enhance its sweetness. Unlike typical donuts sold in coffee or donut shops, Puff Puff has a milder sweetness. You can enjoy it with sweet toppings or pair it with savory sauces like African pepper sauce, which blends bell peppers, sweet mini peppers, and fiery varieties like habanero or ghost peppers.
The pepper sauce pairs well with the puff puff. It gives a good balance of sweet and spicy snack! Though it is airy it is very feeling. A few puff puff can fill you up.
