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.
