Ingredients

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and orange zest. Add the evaporated milk, margarine and eggs, then mix and knead into a dough by hand or with a mixer.
2. Pinch off a portion the size of a golf ball and roll it out to 1/8 inch thick. Cut into squares or thin strips with a knife or pizza cutter, then place on a parchment-lined tray.
3. Pour oil into a heavy pot to a depth of 4 inches. Heat on high for about 10 minutes, then lower the heat to medium.
4. Fry the pieces in small batches so the pan is not crowded. Fry each batch until golden brown, then drain on paper towels.
5. Let the chin chin cool completely before storing in an airtight container for up to a month.
