Hi everyone,

I always notice that the oil I am using to fry chin chin is always foamy and most times the foamy oil will raise and start flowing out from the frying pan.

This always happens when I am frying the 2nd or 3rd batch of the chin chin. Anyone has an idea why this might be happening and how I can stop it from happening.

U Don 4get say bubu is still in charge?

Maybe na transformer oil u dey use!!!

It's the flour that's causing it...

Too much eggs in your mix. Also make sure your oulmis of good quality.

Last, use a large pot. The oil should be at most, no more than a third of the pot so it doesn't overflow.

Thanks everyone.

Do you use either baking soda or baking powder in your dough mix?

I use baking powder. Actually I used the recipe and measurement from this website https://mummysyum.com/nigerian-chin-chin-tasty-soft-and-crunchy/

Then the likely cause of the bubbling is the baking soda so you need not worry. Just get yourself a bigger pan or even a deep pot to fru it in next time.

Change that oil.

Do you use too much eggs as part of the ingredients? That could be the cause
