Instructions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine 12 eggs, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of baking soda that has been dissolved in boiling water. Mix well to combine these ingredients.
Gradually add 850 to 1000 grams of all-purpose flour to the mixture and knead until you achieve a smooth dough. Once the dough is ready, cover it and let it rest for 30 to 40 minutes.
Step 2
After resting, divide the dough into several parts. Take each part and roll it out with a rolling pin until it’s thin. Use a knife to cut the rolled dough into thin strips, similar to making noodles.
These strips will be fried, so quickly move to the next step!
Step 3
Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil is hot enough, carefully drop the cut dough strips into the oil. Fry until they are golden brown, which should take just a few minutes.
Remove the fried strips with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Step 4
In a saucepan, combine 600 grams of honey and 300 grams of sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat and stir until the sugar completely dissolves, which should take about 7 to 10 minutes.
Bring the syrup to a gentle boil and then remove from heat.
Step 5
While the syrup is still hot, pour it over the fried dough strips. Mix everything thoroughly using your hands; it’s best to do this with wet hands to prevent the mixture from sticking.
Work quickly, as the syrup sets fast! Once mixed, let the Chak Chak sit for a couple of hours to firm up before serving. Enjoy your delicious Chak Chak!
Servings
Equipment
A sturdy mixing bowl is essential for kneading and combining the dough.
Make sure your rolling pin is comfortable to grip for even spreading of the dough.



A sharp knife helps in cutting the dough into perfect strips. Ensure it's well-maintained!
A deep fryer or pot with high sides is great for frying. Always monitor the oil temperature for crispy results!
A wooden spoon is ideal for mixing the syrup with the dough pieces.
Variations
Faq
- What if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough feels sticky, gradually add a little more flour until it's manageable. Working on a floured surface can also help!
- How can I tell when the Chak-Chak is done frying?
The Chak-Chak should turn golden brown and float to the top of the oil. This is a good sign it's ready to be taken out!
- Can I prepare the syrup in advance?
Absolutely! You can prepare the syrup a day before and store it in an airtight container at room temperature.
- How can I ensure my Chak-Chak holds its shape?
Mixing the dough and syrup quickly is key. Use wet hands to help shape and avoid sticking!
- What should I do if my Chak-Chak doesn’t get crispy?
Make sure your oil is hot enough before adding the dough pieces. If the oil is too cool, they will absorb oil instead of frying.
- Can I add flavors to my Chak-Chak?
Definitely! Try incorporating some vanilla extract or a hint of citrus zest into your dough for a unique flavor twist!
