How to make Soft and Sweet Mandazis
Preparing the Dough
Put the flour, salt, sugar, cardamom, baking powder, and cinnamon in a bowl and mix well.
Melt the margarine and add to the mixture, mixing well.
Warm the milk or water and add to the mixture little by little, kneading to get a soft and smooth dough.
Cover and place in a warm place for 1 to 2 hours for best results, kneading after every 30 minutes.
Shaping and Frying
Make four small balls and roll each, cutting into desired shapes.
Heat the oil until it's hot and ready. To test, place a small piece of dough in the oil; it should immediately rise.
Dip the shaped dough into the oil and turn, letting it cook until golden brown.

FAQS
How can I make soft and sweet mandazis gluten-free?
To make gluten-free soft and sweet mandazis, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to add a binding agent like xanthan gum if your blend doesn't already include it. Adjust the liquid ingredients as needed to achieve a soft dough.
What is the best way to store leftover mandazis?
To store leftover mandazis, let them cool completely and then place them in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Just reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
What can I pair with mandazis for a delicious breakfast?
Mandazis pair wonderfully with a variety of toppings and sides. You can serve them with honey, jam, or fresh fruit. For a more filling breakfast, consider adding a side of yogurt or scrambled eggs. A cup of tea or coffee complements them perfectly as well.
Can I use butter instead of margarine in the mandazi recipe?
Yes, you can definitely substitute margarine with butter in the mandazi recipe. Just melt the butter and mix it into the dry ingredients as you would with margarine. This will give your mandazis a rich flavor.
How do I know when the oil is hot enough for frying mandazis?
To check if the oil is hot enough for frying mandazis, drop a small piece of dough into the oil. If it rises to the surface and sizzles immediately, the oil is ready. If it sinks and doesn't bubble, the oil needs more time to heat up.
