Chin Chin

Ingredients

• 3 cups All-Purpose Flour
• 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
• 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• 1/2 cup Vegan Butter
• 1/2 cup Water
• 2 cups Vegetable Oil

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 tsp of nutmeg, and 1 tsp of baking powder.
2. 2Add 1/2 cup of vegan butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingertips to rub the vegan butter into the flour mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs.
3. 3Gradually add 1/2 cup of water to the mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
4. 4Knead the dough on a clean surface for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth.
5. 5Roll out the dough thinly, to about 1/8-inch thickness, and cut it into small squares or rectangles, approximately 1-inch by 1-inch.
6. 6Heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
7. 7Carefully add the cut dough pieces to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 3-5 minutes, or until the chin chin are golden brown and float to the surface.
8. 8Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried chin chin from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
9. 9Allow the chin chin to cool completely on the paper towels before serving.
