Chin Chin
- Number of Servings: 5
Ingredients
Flour, white, 2.5 cup Granulated Sugar, 0.67 cup Salt, 1 tsp Baking Powder, 0.25 tsp Egg, fresh, 2 large Butter, salted, 5 tbsp Whole Milk / Vitamin D, 0.125 cup *Crisco Pure Vegetable Oil, 16 tbsp
In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, salt and baking powder if you are using.
Cut the cold butter into small pieces and add to dry ingredients. Cut butter in with a pastry blender until it is blended in well.In a small bowl, mix together eggs and milk. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour egg-milk mixture in.
Mix with a fork and then knead with your hands, turning the mixture out onto a counter and kneading until it forms a solid dough. The dough will be very stiff.
Roll out dough to 1 ⁄ 4 inch thick, using a small amount of flour if you need to keep it from sticking. Cut out your chin chin using one of the following methods:
Cut dough into strips about 1 ⁄ 2 wide, and then again crosswise into 1 ⁄ 2 strips, to make small 1 ⁄ 2 inch squares, ready for frying.
or, cut dough into 2 inch squares. Cut each square diagonally to form a triangle. With your finger, poke a small hole in the center of the triangle and pull one of the corners through the hole gently. The last picture below is the knot flipped over on its other side.
If you are having trouble with this method, try chilling your dough for about half an hour, until it becomes more firm. You can do this after the triangles are cut, just transfer them to a cookie sheet and refrigerate.
