- 2
Rub the butter into the flour mixture with your fingertips.
- 3
Add the egg and milk, and knead a firm but rollable dough.
- 4
Rest the dough for 15 minutes so it does not shrink while cutting.
15 min15:00 - 5
Roll the dough to 5 mm thick and cut it into small squares.
- 6
Heat the vegetable oil to about 170°C and fry the chin chin pieces for 5 to 6 minutes, until golden.

Drain off excess oil and store in a dry container once completely cool.
