Nigerian Egg roll is a healthy Nigerian snack similar to scotch egg but instead of sausage meat, flour dough is used to wrap the boiled egg.
It is not the same thing as the regular Chinese egg roll which is elongated and looks more like spring rolls.
The Nigerian egg roll gets its circular shape from the boiled egg used in making it. Here’s an easy recipe for you…Enjoy!
Nigerian Egg Roll Recipe :
- 3-5 hard boiled eggs (depending on how flat you roll you dough)
- 150 grams plain flour
- 50 grams sugar
- 1/2 levelled teaspoon baking powder
- 50 grams margarine
- About 50 ml cool water(more or less)
- A pinch of salt
- Vegetable oil, for deep frying
Nigerian Egg Roll making directions:
1. In a wide bowl, add the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder, mix thoroughly.
2. Add the margarine and mix well until the mixture looks like bread crumbs. Add a little water and continue mixing until you get a sticky dough, but not watery.
3. Sprinkle some flour on a flat table and place the dough on the it. Knead the dough and add more flour if the dough is too sticky.
4. Now, cut out a bit and roll out with a rolling pin. Place a boiled egg on the flat dough and wrap the egg with the dough. Cut out any excess dough and roll the egg roll with your palm until smooth.Repeat the process for the remaining eggs, then set aside for 5 minutes and leave to rest a bit.
5. Heat up the oil on medium heat and transfer the rolled eggs into the hot oil.
Tip: If your rolled egg resulted bigger than mine, you’ll have to reduce the heat after placing the eggs in the hot oil, so that the inside will cook well.
Fry until lightly brown. And your egg rolls are ready.
Nigerian Egg roll is a tasty snack and can be enjoyed both warm and cold, with any drink and beverage of choice.

Hello Owoyemi, this egg roll recipe above is for 5 eggs and requires 150gr of flour.
For 100 egg rolls you will need about 3kg of flour, you can do the rest of the calculations sweetie by multiplying all ingredients by 20 ?
Thank you so much ma’am….

You didnt add salt
There is salt in the recipe, just a pinch 🙂
Can u combine yeast and baking powder because I got this recipe egg roll from a website and bakin powder wasn't included
No you can't combine the two. Baking powder makes the dough fluffy.
Pls ma I wl like to knw why my egg roll is nt well done in de inside
It could be that the dough you wrapped around the egg is too thick and you fried it in very hot oil, so the outside cooked faster without completely cooking the inside.
Plz ma I need measurement for egg roll recipe for 6o pple , I we be glad to get today cos I wnt to deliver it tomorrow. Thnks
Hi dear, For 60 eggs, you can use about 2kg of flour, 450gr sugar, 450gr margarine, 2 tablespoon baking powder, 1 tablespoonful salt. Don't forget to roll the dough real flat before wrapping it around the eggs.Enjoy :))
Hi. Thank you for taking time out to help us. You are a blessing. Kindly give me the measurements for 15 egg rolls and 15 fish rolls (pie shape).
I dnt knw wat kinda cup 2 use for measuring,or is dere any other instrument
1 cup of flour = 16 tablespoonful.
is it a must to include baking powder?
Baking powder makes the dough fluffy, but you can do without it 🙂
Ma,i wan 2 knw how many cups of flour wil mak 450g or 250g?
Hi dear 1cup of plain flour is approximately 140 g, so 450g will make about 3cups and 2 tablespoonful while 250g will make approximately 2 cups.
i've tried the sandwich maker cake, its very interesting
