This cake or snack if you want it, is common practice in central Africa.
This recipe comes from Cameroon and very commond when its hollidays, Christmas etc. Very simple and incredibly tasty. The only thing is that it’s hard to stop eating them before they run out. 🙂

500g plain flour
50ml milk

They are looking delicious! I wouldn’t mind finishing them off right now …
They are really awazing! 🙂 And one cant stop eating them 😛
I think now that I have had my introduction to African food I must give them a try. We all enjoyed the Nigerian puff puffs and the thought of adding my favourite spice, nutmeg, is just too tempting!
