Description

Precious Plantain Fufu Flour is a popular West African “swallow” mix used to create a smooth, dough-like side dish. Unlike some brands that use 100% plantain, the Precious brand is specifically formulated as a blend to ensure a more elastic, consistent texture that is easy to prepare for beginners.

🥣 How to Prepare (The Quick Method)

1. Mix: In a pot, mix 1 cup of Precious Flour with 1 cup of room-temperature water until it forms a smooth, lump-free paste.

2. Heat: Place the pot on medium heat. Stir continuously with a sturdy wooden spoon (a Tapoli or spatula).

3. Thicken: As the mixture heats up, it will begin to thicken and turn into a solid dough. Keep kneading and turning the dough against the sides of the pot.

4. Finish: Add a small splash of water, cover the pot, and let it steam on low heat for 2–3 minutes. Give it one final vigorous stir until it is stretchy and translucent.

5. Serve: Shape into a ball using wet hands or a wet bowl and serve hot.
