Ingredients

Method

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt, then cut in the softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5 minutes
2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, then pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and stir until a stiff dough forms.
5 minutes
3
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and firm, adding small amounts of flour if the dough is too sticky.
7 minutes
4
Divide the dough into portions and roll each portion out to approximately 1/4-inch thickness using a rolling pin.
5 minutes
5
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the rolled dough into small strips or small squares roughly 1/2 inch in size.
5 minutes
6
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C), ensuring there is enough oil to fully submerge the chin chin pieces.
8 minutes
7
Fry the chin chin pieces in small batches, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
10 minutes
