Chin Chin (Fried Dough)

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, add the 2 cups of All-Purpose Flour, 1/2 cup of Granulated Sugar, 1/4 cup of Unsalted Butter (Dairy-Free), 1/2 cup of Nut-Free Milk, 1 tsp of Baking Powder, and 1/4 tsp of Nutmeg.
2. 2Mix these ingredients together with your hands or a spoon until they start to come together, then knead the mixture in the bowl for about 5-7 minutes, or until a smooth dough forms.
3. 3On a clean, lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 0.635 cm thickness. Cut the dough into small squares or rectangles, approximately 2.54 cm in size.
4. 4Pour the 2 cups of Vegetable Oil into a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 175°C.
5. 5Carefully add the cut dough pieces to the hot oil in small batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 3-5 minutes per batch, turning occasionally, until the dough pieces are golden brown and appear crispy.
6. 6Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried dough pieces from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining dough pieces.
7. 7Allow the Chin Chin to cool completely on the paper towels for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. This ensures they are fully crisp.
