🧁 Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

4 cups all-purpose flour

½ cup sugar (adjust to taste)

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

½ tsp ground nutmeg (optional but recommended for flavor)

Wet Ingredients:

½ cup butter or margarine (softened)

2 large eggs

½ cup liquid milk (or water, if you prefer)

1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

For Frying:

Vegetable oil (enough for deep frying)

---

🍴 Instructions

1. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.

2. Add Butter
Add the softened butter and mix with your fingers until the mixture becomes crumbly, like breadcrumbs.

3. Add Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix in milk and vanilla. Pour into the flour mixture and knead into a smooth, non-sticky dough. (Add more flour or milk if needed to adjust consistency.)

4. Rest the Dough (Optional)
Let the dough rest for about 10–15 minutes covered with a clean towel.

5. Roll & Cut
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness. Cut into small squares or strips (1-inch size is typical).

6. Fry
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the chin chin in batches until golden brown, stirring occasionally for even color (about 5–7 minutes per batch). Don’t overcrowd the pan.

7. Drain & Cool
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Let cool completely before storing.

½ tsp salt

2–3 tbsp sweetened condensed milk

½ tsp vanilla extract
