  10. Oil for frying - I used vegetable oil
  11. Water - (1 cup plus 1/4 cup, if using powdered milk)

Cooking Instructions

1 hour
  1. 1

    In a bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, a pinch of salt, freshly grated nutmeg, milk flavour if using the powdered one).

  2. 2

    Add the room temperature butter and mix till well until combined and the mixture has a crumblike texture.

  3. 3

    In another bowl, mix together the eggs and milk, add the egg mixture into the flour mixture and mix to form a dough (add some sprinkles of water if too dry and couldn't form together) then leave to rest for 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Transfer the dough onto a floured working surface and lightly knead till smooth and no longer sticky.

  5. 5

    Cut out a portion of the dough (about the size of a golf ball). Roll the dough into about 1/8 inch thick.

  6. 6

    Cut into 1-inch squares or thin strips (about 1 by 5 inch) using either a knife, a pizza cutter or a pasta maker.

  7. 7

    Heat up oil (about 1-1/2 litres) in a frying pot or pan for 10 minute or till hot enough.

  8. 8

    Gently collect some batches of the raw chinchin an place in the hot oil. and start frying the chinchin in small batches. Start stirring immediately with a spoon, shaking from side to side till all the pieces of Chin Chin come apart.

  9. 9

    Keep stirring at intervals till the Chin Chin turns golden brown. When it browns to your liking, scoop into a sieve lined with a paper towel to drain the excess oil. Then fry the rest of the diced raw chin chin in batches

  10. 10

    Spread them out in a tray, allow to cool down completely and store in an airtight container, it can store for up to a month that is if you don't finish it on the first one week lol.
