Buns (Nigerian)

Our Nigerian buns are a popular West African snack consisting of small, deep-fried dough balls that are golden-brown on the outside and wonderfully soft and pillowy on the inside. Unlike their lighter cousin, Nigerian puff-puff, these buns use baking powder rather than yeast, giving them a denser, cake-like texture and a "firmly" crunchy exterior. They are easy to whip up—often made with flour, sugar, eggs, milk, and butter—and are frequently seasoned with nutmeg for a mildly sweet, aromatic flavor. Commonly enjoyed as a versatile street food in Africa, they are a staple on snack tables, often paired with tea, coffee, or a cold soda. They are sold at 3 pieces for $2. The order minimum is $4.
