Boffrot, Puff Puff, Beignets or simply doughnuts 🍩 (with no holes) these are a delicious morning treat usually eaten with porridge . Very similar in texture to Korean doughnuts, soft but chewy. We made a caramel drizzle with EssieSpice TamarindOH!® sauce & it took these doughnuts straight to cloud 9 . One of the recipes we will learn from start to finish in our STREET & COMFORT FOOD; West-African Style Cooking Class. Have you signed up?
