Easy African Beignets (Puff Puff, Bofrot)

Frankly one of the simplest and tastiest recipes out there. I was introduced to this delicious version of beignets in college, where I got to mingle with and learn from many friends from Nigeria and Ghana. Unlike the one I was accustomed to, this easy beignet version is dairy-free. Eat it plain, or opt for a crunchy coated beignet with sugar for an easy, versatile side dish or dessert!
