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 0.3175 cm thickness, and cut it into small squares or rectangles, approximately 2.54 cm by 2.54 cm.
6. 6Heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until it reaches 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.
