3. Add the beaten egg and milk and mix together.
4. Add water little by little and knead the dough till it is soft but sticky.
5. Cover the dough and leave it for about 15 to 20 minutes.
6. Knead the dough again for about a minute and divide into five.
7. Tightly wrap each dough around each egg. In doing this however, you must wrap the eggs you are ready to fry because if left for some time, the dough around the egg will continue to rise and loosen around the egg by the time you fry.
8. Deep fry on a medium heat turning over and over again until it is golden brown. High heat will prevent the egg roll from cooking on the inside.
9. Serve your egg roll hot or warm with any liquid of your choice.
