Been really trying to get soft, tasty mandazis and this right here was it for me! The lemon zest and the vanilla was such a good taste combo. The mandazis were so soft.

1

Combine flour, sugar, salt, and lemon zest in a large bowl.

4

Roll dough to medium thickness and cut into triangles or squares.
5

Fry in medium heat oil, turning once, until golden and cooked through.
6

Cool completely, then store in an airtight container or wrap in foil/cloth for up to 2 days.

Tips

Softer dough = softer mandazi tomorrow too. Ensure the oil is at the right temperature: too hot will brown the outside quickly, while too cool will absorb too much oil.
