Delicious Nigerian chin chin.

Let’s look at how to make good chin chin. This chin chin here is best I ever made or tasted anywhere. It’s so good, I’ve bookmarked the recipe to be my GO TO chin chin recipe. I love it. I had to hoard this quantity for pictures because they were being rushed by the kids. This is crunchy, yet not hard like stone. I wanted to add an egg but that would have made it soft and I like it.
crunchy (not hard o).
HOW TO MAKE
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 cups flour (Shop measuring cups
)
- 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)
direction on how to make good chin chin
- Sieve your flour into a kitchen bowl
, add the powdered milk, sugar, salt, nutmeg and margarine or butter.
- 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.
- Place on a lightly floured surface, roll out and cut into the desired shape.
- Fry in hot oil until golden brown, do not overcrowd the pot, fry only a few pieces at a time so it doesn’t soak oil, drain with paper napkins, and store in airtight containers.

MY GOOD CHIN CHIN MAKING:
In a bowl, I sieve 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 (Cutting chin chin with a pizza cutter just rolling on top the flattened dough just makes your work easier and much faster.
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.
