1. What particular ingredients makes chinchin harder so I know how to avoid putting much.
2. What kind of preservative would you advice me use to use to elongate the shelf- life?.
3. Is it advisable to add a brand name to the packaging even when it’s not a registered business?.
Thanks in anticipation for your reply
@Rosemary, what i know is what makes it soft, if you don’t want to make it soft then reduce the number of egg used. also if you add too much of baking powder your chin chin will be hard
use food preservative for preservation, if you ask sellers of recipe they will show you
yes you can use a branded name it will give credence to your business. there is room for small scale entrepreneurs to sell their products but when it starts growing it is important you register with NAFDAC
