-Add the egg and the mixed sugar mixture. Mix well till you get a smooth but stiff Dough.
Note: if you are using powdered milk, add water to it first
The dough doubles in size when placed in oil so don't cut it too big

-Heat up some oil until it's very hot... start frying.
-Stir continuously until all Chinchin changes from white to brown.

Note: Don't fry too many at a time, take them in batches. Transfer fried Chinchin into a pan and allow to cool completely
