Early mornings are meant with a desire of making and eating mandazi for breakfast. Waking from bed and getting ready for the day’s events can only be energized by the thought of a tasty mandazi and tea or coffee for a Kenyan breakfast.
These tasty and fluffy snacks are popular in Nairobi Kenya. They’re similar to doughnuts and fun for special occasions, events and parties. Cocking them is a hobby. I am going to show how to make them.
Ingredients
1 egg, beaten
½ c. sugar
½ c. milk
2 tbsp. butter, melted
2 tsp. baking powder
2 c. white flour
½ c. cooking oil, plus more as needed
powdered sugar for sprinkling (optional)
Directions for preparations
Mix together the egg, sugar, milk, butter and baking powder.
Slowly mix in the flour, forming dough that’s
soft but not sticky. Add more flour if needed.
With a rolling pin, roll the dough on a lightly floured surface until it’s about ¼-inch thick.
Let it stand about for 20 minutes, then cut it into 12-15 sizable triangles.
Heat the oil in a skillet.
Place the triangles in oil over medium heat and fry until both sides are golden brown.
Remove to drain on paper towels.
Finally Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Ready to serve.
