Sweet Maida Chips
Crispy biscuits made with All purpose flour and sugar. Easy, no bake treat for any festive occasion or just for afternoon snack.
Ingredients
- 2.5 Cups Maida | All Purpose flour
- 1 Cup Sakkarai | Sugar
- 50 gms Makhan | Vennai | Butter
- ½ teaspoon Baking soda Optional
- ½ Cup Water to knead
Instructions
-
Powder the sugar. Sieve flour and baking soda. Mix all the dry ingredients. Then add water little by little and knead. The dough should be soft and not sticky.
-
Then divide it into 7-8 equal portions of balls. Roll out each ball just like you make tortillas or chapathi (but into bigger diameters). Make sure you roll it thin.
-
With the help of a butter knife or a steel chapathi spatula, run it along the diameter to make equal width strips. Remove each strip separately and again cut it into small rectangular pieces. Repeat the same with the remaining dough.
-
On medium flame, heat oil in a heavy bottom pan for deep frying. Deep fry them in oil without crowding the pan.
-
Store it in an airtight container.
Recipe Notes
- As mentioned above, make sure the dough pieces are not dried up. You can put the cut pieces in a newspaper and cover it.
- Make sure not to crowd it as it might get stuck to each other.
- After deep frying them, put it in a paper towel or any oil strainer. Just before taking the batch that is frying in the oil, transfer the previous batch into a container and place the lid half closed. So this way it might not form water droplets on the inside of the lid.
- Do not skip butter and baking soda, it helps to get a crunchy light fluffy chips. Also do not add excess butter, if it is in excess the pieces might just crumble and go into bits when you fry them.
