Bake mandazi

Today we have one culinary tip for you guys: mandazi do it Yourself! Better said, bake, because the donut-like pastries Rwanda is fried in oil.

It's a wonderful change from the classic donut and that traditional recipe can of course be adapted to personal taste at will.

Ingredients for mandazi:

• 2 cups of flour
• 1 packet of baking powder
• 2-3 tbsp sugar
• 1 egg
• ½ cup of milk
• Frying oil

Preparation:

Mix the ingredients of flour, baking powder and sugar in a bowl, make a well in the middle and add the egg. Gradually add the milk and knead well. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes. Then roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut into small square pieces. Heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the Mandazi rolls in it until golden brown. Let them cool down and then they're done!

Feel free to send us a photo via our social media channels when you have prepared mandazi 💛

You can currently also buy Mandazi rolls at Weinberger Bakery in Lower Austria to buy. One Part of the proceeds will be used to train young bakers in Rwanda!

The entire Kindernothilfe team wishes you have fun baking and good luck!
