1. VANILLA CHINCHIN
4 cups or 500g all purpose flour
1/2 cup or 100g sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 large egg
180ml or 3/4 cup fresh milk (you can also evaporated milk or powdered milk)
8 tablespoons or 1/2 cup melted butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg or cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Vegetable oil for frying

Add the vanilla extract to the the milk and mix well, then add the mixture to flour mixture
Also add the egg to the flour mixture and mix everything together until you form a dough
Knead the dough for about 3 minutes till smooth and not sticky
With a rolling pin, roll into a thin sheet on a floured surface and cut to your desired shape and size
Fry in vegetable oil until golden brown.
Drain excess oil with a kitchen towel
Let cool and enjoy
2. CHOCO CHINCHIN
Same as above but add 100g of Milo or ovaltine to the dry ingredients before, adding the wet ingredients.
NOTE
-If the dough is too strong, add a bit of
water.
-You may or may not omit the vanilla
essence and the nutmeg/cinnamon.
-You can also use cocoa powder but
you have to increase the amount of
sugar used in the vanilla recipe.
3. COCONUT CHINCHIN
Same as vanilla chinchin, but with the coconut chinchin, you would need a medium sized coconut.
-Break the coconut and pry out the
flesh.
-Blend the coconut flesh with about
150ml of water.
-Sieve out the milk and use in place of
the 180ml of milk used in the vanilla
chinchin recipe.
4. BEETROOT CHINCHIN
Same as the vanilla chinchin, but for
this, you would need a medium sized
beetroot.
-Cook the beetroot, blend with as little
water as possible and sieve out the
juice or alternatively use a juicer and
then add the juice gradually to the dry
ingredients.
-With the beetroot chinchin, it is
advisable to use powdered milk,
instead of fresh/evaporated milk, so
that the dough does not become too
watery.😘😘😘🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
