Instruction

• This is one recipe a lot of people have requested and I have tried to make it as simple as possible and I hope it will work for you
• Make sure you use the right flour which is basically one with raising agents
• Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste and try using different flavours to have variety whenever you have them
• You can use Coconut milk instead of regular milk, you can also add desiccated coconut to the dry flour or other spices like powdered cloves or cinnamon
• For “healthy looking” mandazis do not roll the dough too thin before frying and use the procedure I have indicated above
• 1
• Mix the flour,cinnamon and sugar in a suitable bowl
• In a separate bowl whisk the egg into the milk 3
• Make a well at the centre of the flour and add the milk and egg mixture and slowly mix to form a dough
• Knead the dough for 3-4 minutes or until it stops sticking to the sides of the bowl and you have a smooth surface
• Cover the dough with a damp cloth and allow to rest for 15 minutes
• Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 1cm thick piece
• Using a sharp small knife, cut the dough into the desired size setting aside ready for deep frying
• Heat your oil in a suitable pot and gently dip the mandazi pieces to cook until light brown on the first side then turn to cook on the second side
• Serve them warm or cold
