HOW TO MAKE GOOD CHIN CHIN

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 cups flour
  
• 1 tablespoon powdered milk
  
• 3 tablespoons sugar
  
• 1 teaspoon salt ( not heaped o)
  
• 1 tablespoon baking margarine (not heaped too, just level) You can use butter here. I don't have butter at home.
  
• 11/2 teaspoons nutmeg
  
• 1 cup water (250ml)
  

Cooking Direction: 

1. Sieve your flour into a bowl, add the powdered milk, sugar, salt, nutmeg and the margarine or butter.
   
2. With your fingers mix until the flour looks like bread crumbs, like tiny particles of garri, then add the warm water and mix until the dough is no longer sticky on your fingers.
   
3. Place on a lightly floured surface, roll out and cut into desired shape.
   
4. Fry in hot oil until golden brown, do not overcrowd the pot, fry only few pieces at a time so it doesn't soak oil, drain with paper napkins and store in airtight containers.

COOKING DIRECTION:

In a bowl I sieved the flour, added the sugar, salt, milk, nutmeg, margarine and with my fingers worked on the margarine until it looks a bit like bread crumbs then I poured in the water and kneaded until dough is elastic. The dough is placed on a board, flattened with a rolling pin and cut with a knife. I sprinkled some flour on the board to make rolling easy and still sprinkled some flour on the dough before cutting.

Frying in hot oil was the final work. So quick and easy.
