HOW TO MAKE NIGERIAN BUNS
Add all the dry ingredients with the butter in a bowl and mix to form a crumble.
Add the egg and water and mix to form a thick stretchy batter, then add water to the flour in bits till you achieve the desired consistency. Do not overwork the batter
Place a shallow pan on medium heat, add vegetable oil, and allow to heat up till hot
By dropping in a small batter, test the oil for readiness. If the batter floats atop, then it’s ready.
Carefully drop the batter in the hot oil in batches but don’t overcrowd the oil.
Reduce the heat and fry the buns till golden brown and well done
Repeat this process until you have exhausted the whole batter mix.
Tip: Reduce the heat each time you are frying a new batch then turn the heat back up to for even cooking. This way the buns don’t turn brown quickly without cooking through.
