Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Hard-boiled eggs | 5 large eggs |
| All-purpose flour | 2 cups |
| Granulated sugar | ½ cup |
| Unsalted butter | ½ cup (softened) |
| Baking powder | 1 tsp |
| Water | As needed |
| Oil for frying | Enough for deep frying |
Preparation Instructions
-
Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, softened butter, and baking powder. Mix them together until the butter is evenly distributed within the flour mixture. Gradually add water, little by little, while stirring continuously, until the mixture forms a smooth and pliable dough. The dough should not be too sticky or too dry—adjust the water as needed.
-
Divide the Dough: Once your dough is ready, divide it into five equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball to make it easier to wrap around the eggs.
-
Wrap the Eggs: Take a hard-boiled egg and flatten one portion of dough in the palm of your hand. Place the egg in the center and carefully wrap the dough around it, ensuring the egg is completely covered with dough. Repeat this process for all five eggs.
-
Fry the Egg Rolls: Heat enough oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of dough into the oil—if it sizzles immediately, it’s time to fry. Gently lower each wrapped egg into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the egg rolls for about 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
-
Drain and Serve: Once the egg rolls are perfectly golden and crispy, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil. Place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Let them cool slightly before serving.
