- Makes: 1 serving (101 g)
- Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients
- 45 g Wheat flour, white, all-purpose, enriched, bleached
- 1.3 g Leavening agents, yeast, baker's, active dry
- 9.4 g Sugar, white, granulated or lump
- 0.6 g Leavening agents, baking powder, low-sodium
- 0.3 g Spices, cardamom
- 0.3 g Salt, table
- 30 g Milk, whole
- 7.5 g Butter, NFS
- 6.3 g Egg, whole, raw
Method
- In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, baking powder, ground cardamom, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the lukewarm milk, melted butter/margarine, and the egg. Mix well.
- - Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and knead into a dough. The dough should be smooth and elastic. - Cover the dough with a damp cloth and set it aside to rise for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
- - Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a height of about 1cm. - Cut the dough into shapes of your choice, such as small squares, diamond shapes, or use a glass to cut out round shapes.
- - In a thick-bottomed pan, add enough oil to deep fry. Heat the oil over medium heat. The oil is ready when bubbles form around a wooden skewer inserted into the oil. - Carefully drop the cut dough shapes into the hot oil. Lower the heat to prevent the outside from burning while the inside remains uncooked. - Flip the mandazi over every 30 seconds and cook for about 2 minutes until golden brown.
- - Remove the mandazi from the oil and drain on paper towels. - Enjoy your soft and delicious mandazi warm!
