Chinese Cruellers ( Cakoi )




Ingredients :400 g flour
1 cup water
1 tablespoon margarine ~ melted
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon condensed milk
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoon dry instant yeast
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
oil for frying

Method :

1. Mix water, margarine, salt, sugar, condensed milk, egg yolk, yeast and bicarbonate of soda in a bowl. Stir well.
2. Add in flour, bit by bit till dough can be kneaded.
3. Knead till smooth and not sticky. Dough must be soft. Leave for half an hour, covered with damp cloth. But I prefer to wrap the container with the dough in a clean plastic bag.
4. Roll thin (+- 1/2 cm), if possible into a rectangle shape.
5. Cut to about 1 inch strips.
6. Dip a skewer into water and press a line on the strips.
7. Place one strip on top of the other, the lines to meet.
8. Heat oil. Stretch the strips slightly before putting in the oil
9. Fry till golden brown.
