Ingredients:
- 4 cups (500g) plain flour, plus extra for dusting - 2 teaspoons baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1 cup (250ml) warm milk - 1 cup (250ml) warm water - 1/4 cup (50g) butter, melted - 1/2 cup (100g) sugar - 1 egg, beaten - Vegetable oil for deep frying
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. 2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, warm water, melted butter, sugar, and egg. 3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky. 4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. 5. Divide the dough into 20 equal pieces. 6. Roll out each piece of dough into a thin oval, about 1/4 cm thick. 7. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or Dutch oven to 375°F (190°C). 8. Carefully drop the mandazi into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. 9. Transfer the mandazi to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. 10. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- For a sweeter mandazi, add 1/2 cup of extra sugar to the dough. - You can also add other flavors to the dough, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or vanilla extract. - If you don't have a deep fryer, you can also shallow fry the mandazi in a large skillet. Just add enough oil to come up about 1 cm on the sides of the pan. - Mandazi can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a toaster oven or microwave before serving.
