Abstract

The study produced good quality biscuits and chin-chin with blends of cowpea and rice flours that are nutritious and acceptable. Cowpea was also prepared for flour by de-hulling, washing, drying and milling and the same process was done to the rice. The flours were blended in three ratios: A combination of varying proportions of the flours said that is 70:30: of RF: CF with 20% WF, 80:20
