CHAD: Ouaddai

Apparently this is easy to make. I tried and tried but couldn’t get them to stay in tact. Maybe the oil was too hot. An absolute disaster. Sorry Chad. Can anyone help?

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups millet flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup vegetable oil
½ cup sugar
1 egg
Oil (for frying)

DIRECTIONS:

Mix the millet and wheat flours together.

Gradually add the preheated vegetable oil in the flour mixture.

Incorporate the sugar with the whole egg into the dough.

Knead the dough for 5 minutes until it becomes firm.

If the dough is too dry and sandy, add a little water.
Spread the dough with a rolling pin on a board or a lightly floured surface and reduce its height 1/4 inch.

Cut the dough into 1-inch strips with a knife or rolling pizza cutter.

Deep fry in a pan with oil (preheated to 300 F) until the snacks are golden, about 2-3 minutes.

Place snacks on paper towels to remove excess oil and serve with a cup of tea.
