Home-made Mandazi

Directions

• Mix the flour and sugar (and cinnamon if using) in a suitable bowl.
• In a separate bowl whisk the eggs into the milk.
• Make a well in the centre of the flour and add the milk and egg mixture, slowly mixing to form a dough.
• Knead the dough for 3-4 minutes until smooth and no longer sticking to the bowl.
• Cover the dough with a damp cloth and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
• Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1 cm thickness.
• Cut the dough into desired pieces with a sharp knife and set aside for frying.
• Heat oil in a suitable pot and fry the mandazi pieces until light brown on the first side, then turn and cook the second side.
• Serve warm or cold
