Instructions

1. 1

   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.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   For “healthy looking” mandazis do not roll the dough too thin before frying and use the procedure I have indicated above.
