- Combine dry ingredients in electric mixer fitted with dough hook attachment. Mix briefly.
Combine wet ingredients in separate bowl and add to dry ingredients. Mix with dough hook until smooth and stiff, with all ingredients well incorporated. If necessary, you may knead by hand briefly to facilitate even distribution of dry ingredients.
Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill overnight in refrigerator.
Roll dough on floured surface until as thin as a credit card. Cut into 2¾-inch equilateral triangle chips.
Fill heavy pot with 3 inches of canola oil and heat to 375 degrees. Fry chips, 8-10 at a time, until golden brown, approximately 2-4 minutes, flipping with metal tongs periodically. Chips are ready when oil nearly stops bubbling.
Remove chips with tongs and allow to drain on paper towel-lined sheet tray; when cool, toss in granulated sugar to coat.
