Ingredients

  • 5 tbsp Sugar
  • 2 cup Plain flour
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 2 lg Eggs
  • 2 tsp Baking powder

Instructions

  1. In a medium sized bowl, measure out two cups of plain flour. Add 2tsp baking powder to it, cinnamon, sugar and mix the dry ingredients well.
  2. In a separate bowl whisk the eggs, vanilla and milk. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture. The batter should be thick but scoopable by a spoon (a thicker version of pancake or like a cake really).
  3. Get a deep frying pan and add vegetable oil or any preferred cooking oil. Once the oil has heated up, scoop the batter using a spoon into the oil. Remember the mandazi will puff up once it hits the oil
  4. Cook for 2-3 minutes each side until you get a golden colour. Serve with cardamom tea and enjoy.
