- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- Nigerian buns stand in the class of street food like its closest sibling, Nigerian puff puff. Unlike Nigerian puff puff, one requires some level of skill sets to nail a typical Nigerian bun. I am not ashamed to admit that I have failed multiple times before finally getting a hang of it. I want to share with you ways that I have come to learn how to make this street snack delights in the comfort of my home and I believe even as a beginner, this will hopefully drive you in the right direction. Amongst others, One of its positive, as opposed to Puff puff, is that it does not take time to make from scratch.
Nigeria buns are sweet packed with flavor with a crusty exterior and chewy interior. The level is dependent on how much sweetness you desire.
Full ingredient list(Guide)
Dry:
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ whole fresh nutmeg(grated)
½ to ¾ cup of sugar
Wet:
3 eggs
3 tablespoon melted butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract(optional)
¼ to ½ cup of water

C'EST bien Mar Cherie
Thanks a lot. I love the video but only that there's no measurements for the ingredients. Please the flour was how many grams?
Please check the description section down the video title. My ingredients are often there...
Being that this video is very old, but I found it helping do to presentation, can I talk you, please do respond if you see this comment I will appreciate mam thanks.
How can I help you?
Greetings,
I want to start this sort of business' it is what lead me to checking for videos, I watched many but urs made it very easy for me because of your friendly presentation, now here are my questions,
1: the ingredients and their measurements that you wrote here, will they give the buns the consumption test, because I didn't see you testing it.
2: I also wish If you can assist me on the ingredients measurements for something bigger, half bag, one bag etc. Thanks 🙏
I hope I'm not asking for too much 🙏
It looks great but I have a question if you don't mind
Shoot? I am listening.
👍👍👍👍
Thanks ma’am I shall be making this tomorrow.
Ywc Sandra. Dont forget to leace me feedback after you try it.
Goodluck
Veeluvstocook_ thanks ma’am. I did it today n it came out nice n yummy 😋
@@sandraogbebor6991 yipeee. I am so proud of you
Thanks for the teaching. ma in the process of mixing you removed from the dry ingredients. after turning the wet ingredients to mix with the dry ingredients the last flour you poured to thicken it was it also from the dry ingredients or another separate flour.
From the dry ingredient.
Coucou, une nouvelle abonnée de France 😊 ! Ça a l'air bon ! A new subscriber from France. I'll try to cook your beignet. Have a nice day
Awww... welcome my french subscriber😊
please can i use Golden penny easy bake flour to make buns,,though it's written on it's bag FOR BAKING BREAD i want to knw if it will turn out good wen i use it to fry buns....thanks
I had to check the flour out cos I am not familiar with the brand.
I found out it was bread flour. If that information is true then you will not be able to just substitute it directly . That is 1g of plain flour is not same as 1g of bread flour.
If you have a weighing scale with you that measures in gram you will have to do a little maths. Here is the conversion formular:
1 cup(155g) all purpose flour = 7/8 cup(140g) bread flour.
You will need to just do the little maths to convert the quantity you will need. I have never substitute bread flour for this recipe. BUT I should think it is worth the try. If you convert n use the amt you should I should think you will be fine
Looking yummy 👍
Thanks

thanks Mikey
Please what can make it soft
Don't understand the question
What of one paint of flour for buns to be soft
I am sorry. I don't know the answer 😊
U did not tell the measurement for starts
They are description section.
Miss Vee talk about scrumptous!!!
@@Veeluvstocook i was sleeping and still dreaming about the Puff Puffs.
@@michaelhuey6756 I found a sweetened condensed coconut milk. They were delicious 😋.
@@Veeluvstocook I closed my TH-cam and opened it 3 times to make sure 🤣🤣.
Please Ma, how many minutes did you leave it to rest?
It depends on the temperature of your space so I can't give time but it should be at least doubled and I also shared the tip on how to checj
Hi darling... this is a lovely video. Pls can I use oil instead of butter?
Hey Dearie. I have not used oil instead of butter before. However, I will say with a certain of confidence that you surely can replace the butter with oil. Maybe i will try it out one of this in my house as well hahahaha. However, just speaking from logic not experience on this particular buns recipe , i will say butter naturally add a richer flavor to anything it is added to. that said, i will think it will be more flavourful with butter. Is there any reason for the substitution if I may ask?
Ma is the covering necessary
Which covering please ?
Good presentation but it be appreciated if you give the measurements of each of the ingredients. Thanks pls
It is actually in the description section below the title of the video. That is where my full ingredients are listed for most of my videos.
Let me know if you need help finding it
@@Veeluvstocook n!
Hi thanks for sharing. I have been your subscriber for years now but just liked 508. Hope you get connected too.
Thanks chef
Its best u display the recipe before starting so someone knows the exact quantity and not just guessing. Thanks
Hi Rosey. Thanks for taking time to leave me your feedback and suggestion. Here is the thing, I dont know if you missed the part i mentioned in the video that the full list of ingredient used is in the description section. For all of my recipe videos I always put a full ingredient list in the description section. That way, i address some other people complaint of the length of the video. But dont worry i will try in future to see how i can incoporate it into the video and also put it in the description section so that it will hopefully be a win-win situation for all viewers.🤓
Is good to put milk in a buns
Yes if you want to
We you put milk in buns
You can
What type of butter
Any brand should be fine
Is the covering necessary ma
Which covering please?
Am I first? 😁😁😁
Yipeeee.. Ray Ray come into my office for your trophy baby girl.
@@anointedstilettos come on gurlll o have been inviting you like forever
Yes you are!
@@Veeluvstocook This summer when all my prayers are answered, I'm there.
@@michaelhuey6756 I clicked so fast Mikey 😊
How many cups of flour can be used to make 50 piece of buns. Because I want to start my own, including other ingredients what are there measurements. Plz
I have a video on baking ratio that might help you with this on my channel. I can't give a measurement for what you asked for because I don't make it for commercial purposes. But I think watch that baking ratio video and learn how to customize baking to either increase or decrease.
Good luck 👍
Hello, love your video, wanted to ask if I can mix my egg white and yolk separately
Yes you can. But if I may ask why do you want to do that?😊. I might learn from your technique
@@Veeluvstocook heheh... I have seen people do it...not in buns though, cakes most especially,they beat the egg white till its creamy, Egg white makes food fluffy.. But I don't know if it will work for buns
@@miraisaac1109 oh I see how you are thinking 😊.. I love that.
Yes you are correct. when you whip up egg white you are forceful stretching the protein in the egg white. this protein stretch and as it does that it wrap up gas(air) and make it very fluffy.
Yes it is used for batters such as cakes . However, this buns batter is thicker than cake so I don't really see the need. BUT that said, you can try it out and who knows you might find a difference😊....
#goodthinking.
@@Veeluvstocook thanks alot... I'll definitely update u❤️❤️
Thanks for the lecture, but you did not give us the measurements. How can we get it right
Check in the description box . Thanks
How many eggs did u use ma
Please check description section... it has the full list of ingredient for this particular recipe. Thanks
The quantity of your recipes please
Please check description section . Thanks
Can I bake the buns
Funke Abigeal yes you can but the taste will be different.
And when reheating the oil how will you know it has reached medium heat
The most accurate way will be to use a cooking thermometer. Any other way, is a trial and error. I invested in a good kitchen thermometer so that is what I use
Please ma,can u help me with quantity of ingredients to use to make buns for 100 people

Please I will like to know how many minutes i should Allow the to be gluten free...like how many minutes am I covering it
I do not quite understand your question. Can you please rephrase it better. Thanks
@@Veeluvstocook how many minutes should I Cher my dough
Please I want to ask a question when making buns must I use butter
Hi LUchi. You will need a form of solid fat for this pastry. You can use margarine,shortening if you dont want to use butter. Now I have had someone ask me of one can use liguid fat e.g. vegetable oil for it. In all honesty I dont have an answer to that because what I have always used is solid fat and butter been my most preferred cos it adds extra flavor to the buns.
You can try and use liquid fat whose advantage in pastry is to get a more moist pastry and see if it works out. Maybe in future I shall experiment with that.
I hope this answers your question. If you need more help ask please. I love questions 😊
Can I use milk instead of water
Definitely. It will even make it more richer😊
So does it mean we can't use yeast for commercial buns
I think that will be puff puff as the yeast will give it much air
Thanks you so much, but you did not state the measurements.
I did. It is in the description section….
Wow well explained recipe, thanks. Please can I use the ingredients listed here for 1kg flour?
Very very interesting question and it came right on time as there will be a video dropping tomorrow (by God's grace) that will address this question so stay tuned(ring your notification bell for instant alert if you have not done that yet when you subscribe. I have gotten another person ask me similar question on how to scale up or scale down my ingredients to suit the number of people you want to cater to.
Please ma'am what is measurements of flour and baking powder
The description section has a full list of ingredient used...
th-cam.com/video/9Rc6rZvCkss/w-d-xo.html
I want to start this business, so how can I start, 1kg how many pieces can it produce
I have a video that answers how to scale up or scale down pastries on my channel. It is a three part and it is titled "bakers percentage".
Kindly refer to those series. It should help you. Thanks
Ingredients for it pls

Hello, please how do I deal with the buns soaking up too much oil?
Is there a reason for that?
Hmmm 🤔. This problem is more for puff puff not buns. Are you sure you are not making puff puff
@@Veeluvstocook it's buns ma.
@@Celestial_Starr then there is probably a fundamental error. Did you take really deflate the mixture before frying and is you measurement precise for denser dough than puff puff
@@Veeluvstocook it's a dense dough, that I fried immediately after mixing. The measurement not sure it's precise,
I made it for a family gathering using
3kg flour
4 spoons of baking powder
1 spoon Cinnamon
1 egg
1/4 cup of butter
Salt to taste.
So sorry for asking alot, my family really loved it they all just complained about the oil, therfore I'll really appreciate any advice as to what I can do better.
@@Celestial_Starr can you please watch my video on baking ratio. It helps to know if your measurement is correct with pastries and baking. That should help you even scale down or up your quantity.
Please ma I don know y my buns and Puff puff are so strong
Hmm, maybe you are over kneading especially the puff puff
I observed my absorb oil when fry
Can you kindly explain tone better what you observe. I don’t seem to understand . Thanks
When I make my own buns it use to suck alot of oil i don't know what is the cause i don't know if I have under or over add an ingredient please correct me
Did you follow my recipe guide to a “T”? I can not really say why at this point because I do not have enough information to try to figure the cause for you. First, try following my recipe measurement to a T leaving nothing out and still see if the result is the same. That way we will troubleshoot and see if it the ingredient measurement that have a problem or not. The we go from there.
Thank you very much ma I appreciate
You forgot to mention how many kilo of your flour and other ingredients
Check in the description section please.
The teaching is interesting,but the measurements of the ingredients used is not stated.
If this is your way of asking for the ingredients : it is in the description section.
Pls can I have the recipe?
See the description section. That is where I put recipe guide list for all my videos
No measurements?
ChI co description section
Please mine didn't rise ..please wat was lacking
Did you remember the yeast? If yes, was it still active meaning did you ensure the yeast was not spoilt and not old ? If not old, did you follow the correct proofing method as directed by the manufacturer? One of the things that can kill yeast if it is not old is the temperature of the water used for proofing it. Did you test for the viability of the yeast before adding it to the mix? Way to do this is to proof it separately as shown in my video before even adding it to the rest of the wet and dry ingredient?
