I have a Ghanaian Father and tried to make some of them, but i forgot the Sugar and they were also too hard. But now I know how to make them properly. Thank you for that.

[@AbenasKitchen]

You welcome. You can also try my bofrot recipe and he will love it

[@blaxicanevolving6648]

Thanks so much for posting this video as well as your other cooking videos! I’ve subscribed to your channel because your videos are of tremendous help when I’m trying to make West African dishes for my fiancé who is from Sierra Leone. Thanks again!

[@lumdianneba4528]

That's how we do it in Cameroon you got it all right

[@maghay6246]

Thanks Abena for all your recipe. .. it's super

[@amadela3309]

Hi Abe na, I made it n it tasted nice. The only thing was it was slightly uncooked in the middle. what did I do wrong pls.

[@kacyk7824]

I presume your dough was too thick and the oil was probably too hot so the donuts got brown way too fast without getting to cook properly inside.

[@AbenasKitchen]

Thanks for answering the question.

[@Keeping.up.with.Lillian]

Amazing 👌👌👌

[@AbenasKitchen]

Thank you

[@godwinosei7776]

I have not tried it yet but you make it sound interesting and easy to do. Thanks loads and i know it will taste yummy and wholesome. Cheers!

[@akyerenyarko8891]

Please can you add baking soda to the dough

[@c7kelijxh]

hello Abena'sKitchen, can you please help me out here, IV tried several times to do this but it always fails...either the doughnuts get burnt or they are uncooked in the middle,pls wat am i doing wrong.can you help.thanks

[@angelinansiah4827]

[@maviskane3098]

Please what kind of flour can be used for this? Thanks

[@AbenasKitchen]

Plain flour/soft flour/ all purpose flour- any of these flour should be fine

[@clipirz5990]

What do you set your frying temperature at?

[@maryakuamoah5395]

Many thanks Abena ...I've learnt a lot from u!!

[@AbenasKitchen]

[@mak7107]

We made one of your recipes and it came out perfect 👍

[@AbenasKitchen]

Awww thanks for your feedback 😊

[@aminaosman1996]

Hello Abena. I tried your puff puff and my hubby and sisters love them. With the donut, do I need plain flour or self raising? I doesn't specify. Thanks

[@AbenasKitchen]

You can use any of them. But you'll ve to add baking powder if you use the plain flour

[@maryarthur6309]

Love ur recipe, good job done but can u pls help me with the measurements in pw i understand dat one better? Thanks

[@AbenasKitchen]

Please what is pw

[@omi_abena]

Please did you use hard flour

[@AbenasKitchen]

Naomi Antwi no soft flour

[@omi_abena]

@@AbenasKitchen oh okay thanks

[@yollylove2798]

nice one but pls can it be done without backing powder?

[@AbenasKitchen]

No pls, that is what makes the doughnut light n fluffy. baking powder is a must, you can't leave it out

[@offbrand_2863]

I really love these but never knew how to make them thank you for teaching me

[@AbenasKitchen]

You’re welcome 😉

[@dorcaskyei2999]

Pls did u use can milk or gallon milk

[@jasminraa]

I am from Ghana and I love little mix

[@Amapat1]

Thanks Abena, sometimes when l make my meat pie it turns hard and l dont know why,l do add a little grounded onion though, do you think thus the reason or does it has something to do with measurement or water?

[@Amapat1]

+Ama Pat l mean the meat pie not doughnut

[@AbenasKitchen]

It depends on many factors. Don't add baking powder, too much of water can also make it hard

[@belindaseegers5528]

Ama pat use milk

[@SARETTATV]

Nice one

[@AbenasKitchen]

Thank you

[@khaimrajsavitrie8502]

[@1lovesgodslove]

These are so good. The first time I made them the 4 cups was way too much. It was thick like dough. I had to add more of the other ingredients. So that way the consistency would be like yours in the video. However I did some research and your 500g of flour turned out to be 2 1/2 cups. So the second time I made with the 2 1/2 cups instead it turned out perfect. Thanks so much for sharing. 😁

[@AbenasKitchen]

That’s why I don’t add cup measurements in my videos/recipes bcos I’m not familiar with them. Thanks for pointing it out to me and sorry for the late reply

[@eatwitheli398]

What can I substitute if I Don't have butter

[@shalomqueen6029]

Thanks sis Abena I did it and it tested good but a lil bit hard, what should I do next time pls

[@nadinenadine7907]

just add a little milk

[@vivianawash846]

Pls answer me, do I start frying right away? Cause I tried it but didn't come out perfect for look, but was perfect for test.( I let it sit a while, say 30 minutes) before frying.

[@AbenasKitchen]

Sorry. Just saw your comment. You've to fry it right away. No need to let it sit

[@shalomqueen6029]

@abena pls answer

[@AbenasKitchen]

I've already answered this question. Thanks

[@shalomqueen6029]

Oh ok, I did not see it until u commented again thank you

[@chantellea9938]

Can these be made without egg?

[@ikeamoako4600]

Thank you so much, will try it

[@AbenasKitchen]

Ike Amoako give us a feedback when you try

[@abinat712]

please can I use yeast instead of the baking powder? or which one is better?

[@AbenasKitchen]

you will have to leave it for it to rise if you use yeast. you can try using yeast, who knows, you can come out with something nicer. check my bofrot recipe if you havent, that ones uses yeast but theres no egg or butter in it. thanks for watching.

[@Sweetgladanderson13]

well done! You made it easy for me to try

[@AbenasKitchen]

thanks dear

[@lyfofbetty4502]

Please the flour should it be hard or soft if I don't get all purpose flour

[@AbenasKitchen]

Soft flour. All purpose flour is same as plain flour or soft flour

[@akosuanipaah7364]

Abena, I don't have the vanilla what can I replace with it. Or if I don't add will it be a problem

[@AbenasKitchen]

You can use pineapple essence or any other essence of your choice. If you don’t have any of these just leave it out. It doesn’t take anything away from the recipe

[@akosuanipaah7364]

Oòok thanks. I tried it n it was very tasty but I think I used too much butter n sugar n it was soo rich. Like the doughnut was was oily

[@6598945]

How many people does it serve

[@claranuamah6939]

Plz wat is the difference plain flour and all purpose flour

[@AbenasKitchen]

Sorry dear I thought I had replied you. They’re literally the same thing. In some countries it’s called plain flour and in other countries it’s all purpose flour

[@avrianaaskew288]

Do i have to use baking powder i dont have it? Thanks

[@AbenasKitchen]

Yes you've to, it's an essential ingredient. You can't do without it

[@abenaowusu2236]

[@thebizness5596]

Are these fattening?

[@Deviebabe]

How do you know the amount of sugar, baking powder, margarine, and milk for some amount of flour???

[@AbenasKitchen]

You can double the recipe, cut it down into half, etc. Hope I answered the question bcos I didn't understand it well

[@AbenasKitchen]

no pls, fry them straight away

Abena'sKitchen Thnx so much. Will let you know the outcome when I try it.

[@Sook995]

Why didnt you put cup measurements or teaspoon.

[@AbenasKitchen]

We don't use cup measurements in my country so I'm not familiar with it. Will try and convert it for you

[@AbenasKitchen]

SOOKND67 Pls check the description box, I've added cup measurements

[@thebizness5596]

Because Africans/Carribbeans do measurements by eye. We don't bother with precise measurements.

Hard or soft flour

Soft flour

Obaa, can I use the carnation milk instead of fresh milk? Thanks

[@AbenasKitchen]

Yes you can

[@ladyvessel8197]

Thanks for the response dear. I tried 3 days ago I used fresh milk and everything you used but it came out a little harder than the normal texture I know back in Ghana. Lol any secret? Thanks

[@AbenasKitchen]

Add more liquids next time

O.k., I will do that enjoy thanks.

[@dorcasbaah7413]

can you please skip the milk and use water?

dorcas baah it wouldn’t taste as nice as when you use milk. If you won’t get fresh milk use evaporated milk or powdered milk diluted with water

Is better you used the milk than the water
