Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 6 tablespoons Cold unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Cooked shredded chicken (or any protein filling)
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg (for sealing edges)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.
Add in the cold butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to break it into small, pea-sized pieces.
Slowly pour in the milk while mixing with a wooden spoon until a dough forms. Knead gently on a floured surface for 1-2 minutes until the dough is smooth. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for 15 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheese, green onions, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well to make the filling.
After the dough has rested, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut it into rectangular or circular pieces using a knife or cutter.
Place a spoonful of the filling onto one side of each dough cut-out. Beat the egg in a small bowl and lightly brush it along the edges of the dough to act as glue.
Fold the dough over the filling to create a sealed pocket. Press the edges firmly with a fork to crimp and seal.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Test by dropping in a small piece of dough—it should bubble and rise to the surface.
Fry the rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Crunchy Rolls!
