How to Make Snacks with Flour (Easy Recipes You’ll Love)

Ever feel hungry in the evening and crave something crispy, warm, and quick?
Well… the good news is—you don’t need fancy ingredients. Just flour and a few everyday items from your kitchen can turn into the most delicious snacks ever.

Whether it’s wheat flour, corn flour, rice flour, or even cassava flour, I’ll walk you through step-by-step how to whip up tasty bites that go perfectly with chai, coffee, or a Netflix binge.

Let’s get started.

Ingredients (Basic Flour Snack Recipe)

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
  
  

• 1/2 tsp baking powder
  
  

• 1/2 tsp salt
  
  

• 1/4 tsp black pepper
  
  

• 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional, for a little kick 🌶️)
  
  

• 1 tbsp butter or oil
  
  

• 1/4 cup water (adjust as needed)
  
  

• Oil for frying
  
  

• Cheddar cheese or cheese cubes (for filling)
  
  

• 2 eggs (for coating, optional)
  
  

👉 Pro Tip: Always sift your flour before starting, makes the dough lighter and smoother.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Dough

• Take a bowl and add flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Mix well.
  
  

• Add butter/oil and rub with your hands until the mixture feels crumbly.
  
  

• Slowly add water and knead until you have a smooth, soft dough.
  
  

(If it feels sticky, dust with a little flour. If too dry, add a teaspoon of water.)

2. Shape the Snacks

• Roll the dough on a floured surface.
  
  

• Cut into circles (or any shape you like).
  
  

• Place a small cube of cheese in the center and cover it, sealing the edges well.
  
  

• Keep the shapes covered so they don’t dry out.
  
  

3. Fry Until Golden

• Heat oil in a frying pan on medium heat.
  
  

• Drop the dough pieces in, don’t overcrowd the pan.
  
  

• Fry until golden brown and crispy.
  
  

👉 If they stick to the pan, dip them in egg batter or a flour-water paste before frying. Works like magic.

4. Serve & Enjoy

• Place the fried snacks on a paper towel to absorb extra oil.
  
  

• Serve hot with ketchup, tamarind chutney, green chutney, or just good old mayo.
  
  

Nothing pairs better than a cup of chai. ☕
