Moreover, I’ll also like to note that, Nigerian Buns can be tricky, If it’snot properly mixed or when the measurements are not accurate.

These Buns taste so good and nice especially when this recipe is followed to the letter. I used simple ingredients that you can easily find in your kitchen and you’ll achieve perfect results.

Let me quickly answer some questions regarding Nigerian Buns.

CAN I BAKE NIGERIAN BUNS

Absolutely no! The only way is to fry it. You can’t have crispy and crunchy buns by baking it. You can only fry.

WHAT IS THE FRYING TECHNIQUE OF NIGERIAN BUNS

I’ve seen so many people complained of uncooked buns. Sometimes they complained of their buns getting soaked in the oil, thereby messing up the whole thing.

The best way to fry the buns is by making sure your frying oil is on medium heat. Not too hot and not too warm. Try to be regulating the heat temperature, if you discover that it’s getting too hot, reduce the heat.

Immediately you realise the temperature is going down, you can increase it again.

In this way, you’ll be sure you are doing it right. Allow the buns to fry for a minimum period of 8 minutes. It takes longer time to fry than the Nigerian Puff puff.

HOW CAN I PRESERVE MY BUNS

You can preserve it in the refrigerator in a tight container for 5-6 days without getting bad.

You can reheat in the microwave by using the lowest temperature for 1 minute.

If you plan to have the buns for your breakfast, make sure you have a cup of hot tea for maximum satisfaction. And if you’re planning to have it for lunch, get your chilled drinks ready and enjoy!

½ tsp salt
3 tablespoon melted butter
1 tsp sunflower oil or any vegetable oil
2 eggs

Make a well in the middle to start adding the wet ingredients.
Add the melted butter, sunflower oil, and egg. Give them a good mix.
Start adding your milk or water bit by bit until the right consistency is achieved. (Buns dough should not be too soft).

On medium heat, place your frying pan, and pour your frying oil. (The oil should not be too hot or warm. If it's too hot, it will be left uncooked and if is too warm, it will soak the oil).
