Mandazi flavored with lemon rind step by step
- Take the self raising flour add sugar,salt and Blue band.Use your hand to mix and do it in an upward direction lifting the ingredients in the air.Don't take too long doing this..
- Then add your lemon rind and mix well..
- Add walm milk and knead..
- Let it rest to allow it to raise.I normal keep the dough in a plastic bag. It raises faster or you can also put in a bowl and cover with a dump cloth..
- Roll out and cut into desired shape..
- Fry your mandazi and enjoy them once they have cooled..
After all your pieces are prepared, heat some vegetable oil. Test the heat of the oil by throwing in a small piece of dough. Usually they are made without any fruit flavors like lemon zest, but I have found that lemon zest is amazing when paired with mandazi's! They add a little zest into an already delicious snack. Perfect to be paired with every meal.
