Techniques
Measure the flour into a bowl, add baking powder, salt, sugar and nutmeg and mix.
Dry ingredients and margarine
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- baking powder
- salt
- sugar
- nutmeg
- margarine
Blend the margarine into the flour until crumbly.
- 1 whole beaten egg
- water
Add water a little at a time, mixing after each addition, until the dough is sticky but not too wet and still workable.
Work the dough a minute or two without overworking, so the gluten does not develop.
- boiled egg
Rub flour on the palms to stop the dough sticking; flatten each piece of dough, place a boiled egg inside and wrap the dough tightly around it.
Wrapping the boiled eggs
Wrap only what will be fried at once and keep the unwrapped dough covered.
- oil
Lower into pre-heated oil and fry on medium heat, turning over and over, until golden brown.
