Mandazi is a typical Kenyan snack mostly served with tea.
Most people use self raising flour to make mandazi which is quite good. However, some of us cannot access this flour that is why I decided to post the old but not forgotten recipe from our grandma’s kitchen.
I hope you will enjoy 😊

Steps

Not sure of time 🙈

1

Mix all dry ingredients in one bowl.
2

Mix all fluid/ liquid ingredients in one bowl-separate from the dry ingredients.
3

Add the fluid/liquid mixture to the dry ingredients in bits as you mix/knead to make a dough.
4

Mix/Knead until you come up with a dough that has a sticky consistency which allows rolling. (It should be a bit sticky on your fingers).
5

Cover the dough preferably with a wet piece of kitchen cloth and let it set/rest for 30 minutes or even more.
6

Roll out the dough and cut into preferred shapes and sizes. While doing this, the deep frying oil should be heating.
7

Once the oil is ready to deep dry, put the cut pieces and fry with medium heat until they turn brown.
8

When ready, place them in a bowl with paper towel to drain excess fat and let them cool. Ensure they are covered.
9

Serve when cool as a snack or for breakfast.
