How to make Nigerian chin chin – African snack recipe

Chin chin, also called gateaux sec are among the most popular African snacks, they are crunchy and sweet, usually served in parties, celebrations, weddings and so on.  It can be enjoyed alone as well as with a cup of tea or coffee.  You can keep them for days in a tight container.  Try this super easy snack and your friends and family will thank you for that new great experience. You only need five ingredients to impress your dear ones.

Preparation and cooking time: 30min

Serve: 4

Video:

Ingredients:

Vegetable oil, for deep frying

2 cups of flour (All purpose flour)

½ cup of white sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 eggs

1  cup butter (margarine)

2 tbsp of milk, optional

2 tbsp of ground nutmeg, optional

Direction:

Proceed with mixing the flour and the sugar in a big bow if you want them crunchier add 2 tbsp of ground nutmeg in the flour , then rub  the butter in until it mixes well with the flour.

Next, crack the eggs into the butter and flour mixture. With your hands, mix it till it forms a dough, at this point I usually add 1 or 2 tbsp of milk.

Next, roll out the dough in a cutting board then use a knife to cut the dough and form some small squares. You can shape the snack in any desired shape (squares, circles, etc… )

To finish, heat the vegetable oil until very hot and fry the cut dough until golden brown or light brown.

Remove them from the heat and place them on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.

Enjoy!

    [..YouTube..] Looks easy enough. I might suggest, though, that you might want to use a plastic or nylon cake cutter so that the dough does not stick to the blade.
