Home-made Mandazi

Breakfast · Kenyan classic.

Ingredients

• 750g Self-raising Flour
• 6 tablespoons Sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 cup Milk

Method

1. Continue cooking — 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.
2. Continue cooking — Make sure you use the right flour which is basically one with raising agents.
3. Continue cooking — Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste and try using different flavours to have variety whenever you have them.
4. Add ingredients — 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.
5. Fry — For “healthy looking” mandazis do not roll the dough too thin before frying and use the procedure I have indicated above.
6. Mix together — Mix the flour,cinnamon and sugar in a suitable bowl.
7. Whisk — In a separate bowl whisk the egg into the milk
8. Mix together — Make a well at the centre of the flour and add the milk and egg mixture and slowly mix to form a dough.
9. Knead — Knead the dough for 3-4 minutes or until it stops sticking to the sides of the bowl and you have a smooth surface.
10. Cover and cook — Cover the dough with a damp cloth and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
11. Roll out — Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 1cm thick piece.
12. Fry — Using a sharp small knife, cut the dough into the desired size setting aside ready for deep frying.
