Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, cardamom and a pinch of salt.
  2. Add the egg, melted butter and coconut milk, then mix until you get a soft, non-sticky dough.
  3. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes at room temperature.
  4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1 cm thick, then cut triangles about 8 cm on each side.
  5. Heat the oil in a deep pan to 170 °C, when a small piece of dough rises gently while sizzling.
  6. Fry the mandazi in small batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  7. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with grated coconut if you like.

Variations and tips

Version without frying. Cook the triangles in a non-stick pan over medium heat, 3 minutes per side, with very little oil.
