Ingredients

For the Crisps

• 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
• ½ cup (60 g) potato starch (or cornstarch)
• 2 tbsp corn flour (optional, for extra crispness)
• 1 tbsp milk powder
• 1 tsp sugar
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• ½ cup (120 ml) warm water (adjust as needed)

Seasoning Mix

• 1 tsp fine salt
• ½ tsp paprika
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• ¼ tsp chili powder (optional, for extra heat)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, potato starch, corn flour, milk powder, sugar, and salt.

Gradually add the vegetable oil and warm water while mixing until a soft, smooth dough forms.

Step 2: Knead and Rest

Knead the dough for 5–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes. This makes it easier to roll out.

Step 3: Roll and Shape

Roll the dough into a very thin sheet, approximately 1–2 mm thick.

Using a small cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out even circles.

To create the signature Pringles-style curve, gently place each dough circle over a rolling pin or another curved, oven-safe mold.

Step 4: Cook the Crisps

Baking Method

• Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F).
• Arrange the shaped crisps on a baking tray.
• Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until lightly golden and crisp.

Frying Method

• Heat oil to 170–175°C (340–350°F).
• Fry the crisps for 30–45 seconds, or until crisp and lightly golden.
• Drain on paper towels.

Step 5: Season

While the crisps are still warm, sprinkle them with the prepared seasoning mixture.

Toss gently to coat each crisp evenly.

Step 6: Cool

Allow the crisps to cool completely. They will become even crispier as they cool.

Storage

Store the cooled crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks to maintain their freshness and crunch.

Yield

Approximately 40–50 homemade Pringles-style crisps, depending on the size of your cutter.

Tips for the Best Homemade Crisps

• Roll the dough as thinly as possible for a light, crispy texture.
• Keep the dough circles uniform in size to ensure even cooking.
• Don’t overcrowd the baking tray or fryer.
• Experiment with different seasonings such as barbecue, sour cream & onion, cheese, or spicy chili for a variety of flavors.
• Allow the crisps to cool completely before storing to preserve their crispness.

Enjoy your homemade Pringles-style crisps as a crunchy snack on their own or serve them alongside your favorite dips for an extra treat.
