Ingredients:

500g flour
200g butter or margarine
2 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
100ml water
120ml milk
5 tbsp sugar
oil for deep frying
icing sugar, to dust

Method:

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl until they form a soft dough. Tip this onto a lightly-floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. Cut a piece off the dough and roll until about 1.5cm thick. Cut into squares about 1.5cm x 1.5cm in size then repeat with the remaining dough.

Place about a 2.5cm depth of oil in a pan or wok and heat until quite hot. Add the chin chin pieces to the oil a little at a time and cook until well browned. Transfer to kitchen paper with a slotted spoon and allow to drain as you cook the remaining chin chin. Serve warm, sprinkled with a little icing sugar.
