Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 1/2 cups (440 grams all-Purpose flour) plus more for dusting and rolling.
  • 1 1 /2 teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • ½ cup (4 oz. /125grams / 8 tablespoons) butter
  • 2-3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/3 cup grated onion
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup (125ml) milk plus more about 2 tablespoons
  • 2 tablespoon sugar (optional)
  • Oil (for frying)

Instruction

  • Using a mixer or by hand mix the dry ingredients; flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, nutmeg and white pepper
  • Add the butter to the flour and mix well until the butter is well incorporated with the flour.
  • Add minced garlic, onions, milk and egg into the mixture. Keep mixing until you have formed a sticky dough ball
  • Dump the dough ball onto a floured surface and knead, incorporating more flour into the dough as needed, until the dough is smooth, elastic, and even in color and no longer sticky. Chin-chin can be cut into many shapes and sizes
  • Divide dough in half. On a floured board roll each half about 1/6 inches thick. Just like linguine or fettuccine. You can make it easy by using a pasta machine if you have one available. Make shapes as desired.
  • Add oil (about 3 inches deep) to a heated skillet/sauce pan or my all time favorite Dutch oven that is over medium heat and bring it to 350 degrees.
  • Fry in hot oil until golden. Remove from oil, drain, and serve. You can store this in an airtight container for up to a month.
