Recipes: Spicy Plantain Puff Puff

Here is a great recipe to add to the arsenal of things you can do with overripe plantain, from breakfast pancakes , to savory pancakes to dodo-ikire

Tip
I will also suggest that you use whole-wheat flour or even ground quaker oats instead of all purpose flour. Thicker flour gives a better texture and it doesn’t absorb as much oil when frying.

Ingredients
2 overripe plantains
¼ large onion – Minced
1 scotch bonnet pepper (ata-rodo) – Minced
1-2 tablespoons crayfish powder (optional)
1.5 cups whole wheat or oat flour *
2 teaspoons quick rise yeastOil – for deep frying
*to make oatmeal flour, simply dry blend regular unflavored Quaker oats*

Directions
Peel the plantains and mash or blend until smooth

Pour blended plantain into a large bowl and add in all left over ingredients. Stir well to combine.
Set the mixture in a warm place for 1 hour
Heat up oil in a large pan (320f if using a deep fryer).
Scoop a spoonful of batter into the hot oil.
Repeat until all the batter is in or fry in batches. Fry on all sides until golden brown
Have a lovely weekend!!
