 Guys, this Cameroonian doughnut recipe is hands down one of the easiest and most palatable recipes you will ever make. It comes together in a few minutes.You could make these for a quick breakfast, a quick snack or a quick treat for guests. They are also great for parties! I love making a big batch and keeping at home just so you know, I could feed myself some when I so wish.
These classic drop doughnuts are soft and pillow-like on the inside and taste like something better than cake. To make them, all you need to do is mix together the dry ingredients then you throw in the wet ingredients and mix. Easy doughnutty!
Watch me making some in the video:

How to make perfect Cameroonian drop doughnuts. They come together in only 30 minutes!
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.

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.
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.
This recipe is everything, i added milk and vanilla flavour to my batter and the taste is just out of this world. Thank you very much for sharing your recipe
You are saving homes I swear. I literally open up your blog atleast 3 times a week to plan my meals for the week. This recipe I am still to try and I bet it is awesome like every other recipe I have already tried out. Keep the good work! More Courage and stay blessed!

I followed your recipe and my first trial was a great success.Thank you and keep it up!
So glad to hear that!
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?
Instead of one cup you could decrease to one and a half cups then use half of everything else. Hope this helps.

My thanks for this recipe
Mme I tried this and it came out tasting delicious but oil lots of oil got into it.
What could have been the cause
It looks like the oil wasn’t hot enough. When the oil isn’t hot enough it absorbs oil. Hope this helps.
