How to make perfect Cameroonian drop doughnuts. They come together in only 30 minutes!
Prep: 5 minutes
Cook: 25 minutes
Total: 30 minutes
Servings: 40 drop doughnuts

Ingredients  

  • 3 cups flour (360 g)
  • 6 tablespoons margarine - levelled (or softened butter)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup liquid milk
  • 1 teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200 g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • Oil for frying - I used canola

Instructions 

  • Pour oil into a pot and set to heat on medium heat.
  • In a bowl, rub in flour, baking powder, nutmeg, salt and margarine until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs.
  • Beat eggs with sugar and milk, add into the flour mixture and mix until smooth.
  • Add in a little water until the batter is a dripping consistency just like puff puff batter.
  • Deep fry into small balls in heated oil. To create the balls, wet hands and carry some of the batter with one hand and cut some of it into the oil.
  • If this doesn't work for you, use a teaspoon or ice cream scoop to spoon the batter into the oil.
  • Flip when one side is golden brown. Remove from the oil when balls are completely golden brown. Place on paper towel to drain.

Notes

Your oil shouldn't be too hot. If it is, your doughnuts will brown quickly without getting cooked inside. Medium heat will work perfectly. When doughnuts cool completely, you could place them in an airtight container or bag and save for up to a week. Refrigerate for best results and lightly warm in an oven before eating.

  1. I want to decrease the amount of doughnuts. If I go with one cup of flour, how much baking soda, egg, sugar and butter should I use?

    1. Hi Claudette, do you mean the equivalent in oil? I don’t quite understand your question. But if your doughnuts are too oily, try reducing the amount of oil/margarine/butter in them and see how that goes. Hope this helps.

  2. Hi precious, thanks for the recipe and also pls if I need to make a big batch like 600 pieces. What are the right measurements?

    1. Hi Abigail, when I want to make a big batch I just estimate and multiply the recipe according to my estimate. I’m sorry I don’t have exact numbers for 600 doughnuts but for a party I would multiply every ingredient in the recipe by 4. Hope this gives you an idea.
