Ingredients for Making the 3 Ingredients Bofrot
There are 3 ingredients used in this recipe.
- Self-rising Flour: since this recipe has no yeast, self-rising flour is used. The flour contains a leavening agent already and helps the puff puff rise.
- Vanilla flavored Yogurt: this ingredient makes the bofrot soft and sweetens it. You can use any flavored yogurt, especially if you want a flavored bofrot. Any yogurt will work for this recipe.
- Ground Nutmeg: adding a pinch of nutmeg takes the taste and flavor of these puff puffs to another level. If you are allergic, you can leave it out, and the bofrot will still taste great.
How to Make Bofrot
This recipe is super easy, just as the ingredients list.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and nutmeg and which them together.
Add the vanilla yogurt to the flour mixture. Mix everything together to form a soft dough. There should not be any traces of flour.
Heat oil to deep-fry the donuts in a large or deep-frying pan or pot. To check whether the oil is hot enough, fry a little bit of dough in the oil. You will know when the oil is ready if the dough turns a golden brown and floats to the top.

Use an ice scoop or two spoons to drop the dough into the hot oil for even sizes.
