Chin-chin is a popular West African fried delicacy. It's a deliciously crunchy snack with a lot of flavor.
Despite the fact that this snack is popular in Nigeria, not all chin chins are created equal. Some are overly sugary or flavorless, while others are a greasy mess.
During the Christmas season, I used to help my mother make chinchin a lot. During the Christmas holidays, we always looked forward to creating this delicious snack.
On Saturday evening I decided to make the Chin-chin, I've the flour at home already I went to the local store to get the rest of the ingredients.
Ingredients
- 3¹/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of nutmeg
1 small cup sugar
¹/2 cup baking margarine
1 cup of liquid milk or water
2 egg (optional. use if you want soft chinchin)
Vegetable Oil
Step 1: In a mixing dish, combine flour, baking powder, and sugar. Mix in the margarine until it is completely blended
Step 2: Slowly pour in water until a somewhat flexible but not sticky dough forms (do not add too much water at once)
Cut into desired shapes after rolling out the dough on a flat surface.
Step 3: Place the oil over medium heat and wait until it is hot. Fry one batch of formed dough at a time until golden brown.
Step 5: Fry all the batches, then get a big bowl and pour it inside and allow it to cool down before you package it. Since I'm eating it at home I don't need to package it.
