Puff-puff is a traditional African snack made of fried dough. The prominence of this delicacy stretches even to the eastern and southern edges of West Africa. It is also know as "beignet" in French speaking Africa or "mandazi" in Eastern Africa.

Puffpuffs come in different sizes, shapes, textures and a mix of different ingredients. Puffpuffs are popular street food but also household staples that can be paired with savory and sweet dishes.
