Instructions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder.

Step 2

Add the cold, diced butter to the dry ingredients and use your fingers to rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and knead the dough until it comes together. You may need to add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky.

Step 5

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 6

Use a knife or cookie cutter to cut the dough into desired shapes, such as squares or strips.

Step 7

Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.

Step 8

Carefully place the Chin Chin pieces into the hot oil and fry until they turn golden brown and crispy. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 9

Remove the fried Chin Chin with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 10

Allow the Chin Chin to cool completely before serving. You can dust them with powdered sugar for added sweetness if desired.
