Nigerian egg roll is a popular snack similar to scotch eggs but unlike scotch egg which is made with minced meat and egg , Egg roll is made from flour dough and egg. The dough is made almost the same way doughnut dough is made (Non-sticky). Once done, it should look slightly like Nigerian Buns on the outside with egg in the middle.
How to make Nigerian Egg roll
• Prep Time: 30 minutes
• Cook Time:30 minutes
• Total Time: 60 minutes
• Makes: 10 egg rolls
Things you'd need:::
• Flat working surface/ chopping Board
• Rolling pin
• Frying Pan
• Mixing Bowl
• Empty Saturated Milk Cup for measuring
Ingredients:::
• 10 Whole eggs
• 4½ Cup Wheat flour (all-purpose flour)
• ½ Cup Sugar
• ½ tsp. Baking powder
• 1 tsp. Mixed Spices - Optional
• Pinch of salt
• 1 cup warm water
Directions:::
Step 1: In a medium sized pot, boil the eggs for about 10mins till hard boiled. Once cooked and while hot, place the hard boiled eggs in cold water. This is to ensure the shell comes off easily.
Step 2: Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, mixed spices (if you are using) and salt into an empty bowl. Mix thoroughly then add the margarine/butter. Work into it with the tip of your hand till it looks crumbly like breadcrumbs.
Step 3: Make a well in the center and gently add water little by little. Work into it some more till you get a Smooth non-sticky elastic dough. Divide it into 10 and roll the divided dough into balls
Step 4: Dust your flat working surface with flour and roll out each dough. Wrap each dough around each egg and roll into balls
Step 5: Pre-Heat your vegetable oil in a deep fryer or pot and fry the egg rolls till golden brown. To ensure it cooks well on the inside, reduce the temperature of the burner once you drop the egg rolls into the oil.
Step 6: Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel. Serve!

ReplyDeleteThanks Chidinma :)
Deletema, so sorry my question on chin chin is coming under ur egg roll recipe, u said for a crunchy chin chin, we can omit d egg. my question is if d egg is omitted wot do we substitute wit to bind the dough together.
ReplyDeleteHi abiola,
DeleteThe liquid milk would help in binding the dough together when the egg is omitted. The end result would be a more crunchy chin chin.
pls i need a recipe for scoth egg
ReplyDeleteHow to make scotch egg
DeleteFor scotch egg you'd need:
*Minced meat
*Bread crumbs
*Hard boiled eggs
*Whisked egg (you'd mix it with the minced meat)
*Salt (to taste)
Directions:::
- peel the hard boiled eggs , rinse and set aside.
- In a bowl, mix the minced meat, whisked egg and salt together.
- Roll the minced meat around the hard boiled eggs.
- Roll the covered eggs in bread crumbs
- Deep fry in vegetable oil or bake in an oven
- Serve.
hello ma, i tried ur chin chin recipe yesterday nd it wz fantasic, my kids loved it but d problem i had was dat d oil wz foaming at d top dat i cld nt see d chin chin properly if it wz done but had to alwz remove it frn d fire to check if it is dwn. pls ma wot cld b d cause?. cos my kids want the chin chin again. expect ur rely.
ReplyDeleteFoaming oil is due to the moisture in the chin chin. For chin chin, it's quite normal and once the moisture in the chin chin dough being fried reduces, the foaming would also reduce. A precaution to take though is not to fill the oil to the brim of the pan to prevent it from spilling onto the stove top. Your frying oil should be less than halfway full.
DeleteDobby, I would also like to add that foaming oil when frying chin chin is caused by dusting the rolling board and rolling pin with flour before rolling the dough on the board. If they dough is mixed well..I.e non sticky dough, it can be rolled without the need for flour to be dusted on the board. Thanks for the great work on this blog..luv u plenty
DeleteThanks so much for this recipe. God bless you!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you too Tinuoyin :)
DeleteYou are indeed blessed. Please what causes eggroll to like get spoilt on the inside even after frying it well after a period of time and how long can an egg roll be kept(good one).
ReplyDeletelots of factors could make it go bad so it depends. I've seen eggroll last up to 3days
DeletePlease can I get your recipe for meat pie and how long can it last when made. Thanks a lot.
ReplyDeleteHello Mamaj, The recipe for meat pie isn't available yet but will be soon.

DeleteHello dobby I was lookn 4 sum recipes on net nd luckly found ur blog.soo happy.well I tried to mk egg roll today nd it crumbled while fryn.what do I do next tym evn my chinchin too.wat do I do to avoid d's to my chinchin nd egg roll.pls help.wnt to invest wit it
ReplyDeleteWhen next you fry, ensure you use the right amount of eggs - flour - margarine ratio as that tends to affect the outcome if not done properly. Also, if the right ratio of ingredients is used, you'd have a stretchy dough which won't crumble once it gets into the Oil.
DeleteAwesome.thanks so much.God bless u

ReplyDeleteCover the egg adequately with dough when next you're frying. it won't come out again.
DeleteIt is so delicious. Thank for sharing.,Dobby. I love egg roll. I'm going to try it now
ReplyDeleteDo keep us posted steve
DeleteI tried this yesterday but I noticed while mixing, it was still sticky after about 10 mins of mixing so I decided to more flour however came out well, but there was too much of flour. Did I do the right thing?
ReplyDeleteIf it came out well, you did the right thing.
DeleteHello dobby,can I use that green cup(with handle) that is used in the market? I can't get a milk cup
ReplyDeletei've never seen the green cup. But, you could make the milk cup. Just get the normal tinned milk, use up the content, open it wider and use it for the measurement.Hope this helps.

DeleteHello. I made these today and it was a disaster. The dough part was too sweet, crunchy like chin-chin, and very oily. What can I do next time for better results?
ReplyDeleteReduce the amount of sugar and knead the dough thoroughly. It'd give you a better result.
DeleteI fry my egg roll today but it was too oily, and the oil i use to fry it is very small like two sachet of power oil. Please what can I do to correct the mistake should in case of next time.
ReplyDeleteDrain on a paper towel before serving.
