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:
Ingredients
Flour- 3 cups
Margarine- 6 level tablespoons
Baking powder- 1 teaspoon
Liquid milk- 1 cup
Grated nutmeg- 1 teaspoon
Sugar- 1 cup
Salt- a quarter teaspoon
Eggs- 2
Oil for frying: 1 litre
Directions
Step 1
Pour oil into a pot and set to heat on medium heat.
Step 2
In a bowl, rub in flour, baking powder, nutmeg, salt and margarine until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs.
Step 3
Beat eggs with sugar and milk, add into the flour mixture and mix until smooth.
Step 4
Add in a little water (about half to one cup) until the batter is a dripping consistency just like puff puff batter.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Flip when one side is golden brown. Remove from the oil when balls are completely golden brown. Place on paper towel to drain.
Oh my! These are sooooo good! Remember, you only need about 30 minutes.
Enjoy!

How to make perfect Cameroonian drop doughnuts. They come together in only 30 minutes!
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour (360 g)
- 6 tablespoons margarine – levelled (or softened butter)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- Oil for frying – I used canola

- Beat eggs with sugar and milk, add into the flour mixture and mix until smooth.

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.

Thanks for sharing, dear.
nice recipe. Most times I just dump all the ingredients in the blender and blend till smooth., then I make a well in the flour and pour the blended mixture.. I am always multitasking when cooking, so rubbing in will take me more time. Thanks for the recipe dear.
