I'm not sure what went wrong, but my poofties turned out flat and doughy. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

These poofties were a bit too oily for my liking. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I followed the recipe exactly and my poofties turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

These were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.
