How To Make Mandazi at Home
Mandazi is a type of East African doughnut that is often served as a snack or breakfast food. Here is a recipe for making mandazi at home:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup fine semolina flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tbsp melted butter or vegetable oil
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, semolina flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
