🌍 **What Are Holiday Flour Chips?**

Holiday flour chips are a delightful snack made from a simple dough of flour, butter, and spices, rolled out and fried until crispy. Traditionally enjoyed during festive occasions, they can be customized with various seasonings to suit your taste.

🧾 **Ingredients**

**Base:**

- 25 lbs all-purpose flour

- 1 cup baking powder

- 1 cup salt

- 1 cup butter (softened)

- 2-3 cups blended onions (adjust to taste)

- Water (as needed)

**Optional:**

- Seasonings (e.g., paprika, garlic powder, or herbs)

- Oil for frying (about 1 gallon)

1. **Prepare the Dough**

- Add 1/4 cup softened butter and rub it into the flour until well mixed.

3. **Rest the Dough**

- Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for at least 1 hour to relax the gluten.

4. **Roll and Cut the Dough**

- After resting, transfer the dough to a floured work surface.

- Divide the dough into manageable portions, keeping them covered to prevent drying.

- Roll out each portion thinly for crunchier chips.

5. **Cut into Shapes**

- Use a knife or a pastry cutter to cut the rolled dough into desired shapes and sizes.

6. **Heat the Oil**

- In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop in a test chip; if it rises quickly, the oil is ready.

7. **Fry the Chips**

- Carefully add the cut chips to the hot oil, ensuring they are submerged. Avoid stirring immediately to prevent foaming.

- Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a paper towel-lined tray to drain excess oil.

8. **Repeat the Process**

- Continue frying the remaining chips in batches until all are cooked.

🍽️ **How to Serve**

Serve the flour chips warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed plain or paired with dips like salsa, guacamole, or your favorite sauce.

💡 **Pro Tips**

- For extra flavor, consider adding spices to the dough or seasoning the chips after frying.

- Use a pasta maker for rolling out the dough if you have one; it saves time and effort.
