Ingredients
Method
Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and cardamom. Add the egg, warm milk and 2 tbsp oil, and knead into a soft dough.
Cover and rest for 15 minutes while the oil heats.
Roll the dough out to about 1 cm thick and cut into triangles or squares.
Heat the oil for deep-frying over medium heat. Test with a small piece of dough: it should sizzle and rise in a few seconds.
Fry the mandazi a few at a time, turning, until puffed and golden on both sides.
Drain on a rack or paper towel and serve warm.
