Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 cups flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • tablespoons milk
  • 2 egg beaten
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 6 tablespoons butter (or margarine)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • peanut oil (or vegetable oil) for frying

Instructions

  1. Combine flour, sugar, vanilla and salt. Rub the butter and flour mixture until reaching a sandy consistency.
  2. Add eggs and start kneading. Add milk until getting a smooth dough. If necessary, add a little flour or milk depending on the texture.
  3. Flatten the dough on a work surface to a thickness of ¼ inch (5mm). Cut small squares of approximately ¾ inch (2cm)
  4. Heat oil and fry, stirring the chin chin to prevent them from sticking. When golden brown, remove them and place them on a plate line with paper towel to remove excess oil.
