  1. How do I make Puff Puff dough rise properly?

    To ensure your Puff Puff dough rises properly, make sure to use fresh yeast and let the dough sit in a warm place for about 1 hour. Cover the bowl with a cloth to retain warmth and moisture, which helps the yeast activate and the dough to rise.

  2. What are some dietary substitutions for Puff Puff ingredients?

    If you're looking for dietary substitutions for Puff Puff, you can use gluten-free all-purpose flour for a gluten-free version. For a vegan option, substitute sugar with coconut sugar and use a plant-based oil for frying. Additionally, you can replace the yeast with baking powder, but the texture may vary.

  3. How should I store leftover Puff Puff?

    To store leftover Puff Puff, let them cool completely and then place them in an airtight container. You can keep them at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate them for up to a week.

  5. What is the best frying temperature for Puff Puff?

    The best frying temperature for Puff Puff is low to medium heat. This ensures that the dough cooks through without burning on the outside. If the oil is too hot, the outside will brown quickly while the inside remains raw. Aim for a temperature around 350°F (175°C) for optimal results.
