Ingredients
- 750g Self-raising Flour
- 6 tablespoons Sugar Buy: First Green Mint Sugar free Gum · ₺39.99
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Milk Buy: Yemany Baby Banana Milk Large · ₺149.99
Preparation
- 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.
- 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.
- For “healthy looking” mandazis do not roll the dough too thin before frying and use the procedure I have indicated above.
- Mix the flour,cinnamon and sugar in a suitable bowl.
- In a separate bowl whisk the egg into the milk
- Make a well at the centre of the flour and add the milk and egg mixture and slowly mix to form a dough.
- Knead the dough for 3-4 minutes or until it stops sticking to the sides of the bowl and you have a smooth surface.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
- Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 1cm thick piece.
- Using a sharp small knife, cut the dough into the desired size setting aside ready for deep frying.
- Heat your oil in a suitable pot and gently dip the mandazi pieces to cook until light brown on the first side then turn to cook on the second side.
- Serve them warm or cold
