Baked Chin Chin Bites

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt.

3. 3

   Add the chilled butter cubes to the flour mixture and rub them in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. 4

   In a separate small bowl, beat the egg with the milk and vanilla extract.

5. 5

   Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, kneading gently until a stiff, smooth dough forms.

6. 6

   Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut into small 1/2 inch squares using a knife or pizza cutter.

7. 7

   Place the dough squares on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer and lightly spray with cooking oil for extra crunch.

8. 8

   Bake for 20-25 minutes, tossing them halfway through, until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.

9. 9

   Allow the bites to cool completely on the tray to reach maximum crunchiness before serving.
