Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs into the milk.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the egg-milk mixture. Mix slowly until a dough forms.

Step 4

Knead for 3–4 minutes until the dough is smooth and no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl.

Step 5

Cover with a damp cloth and leave to rest for 15 minutes.

Step 6

Roll out on a lightly floured surface to about 1 cm thickness.

Step 7

Cut into triangles, squares or rounds using a sharp knife.

Step 8

Heat oil in a deep pot over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F — a small scrap of dough should sizzle and rise to the surface right away. Gently lower in the mandazi pieces in batches and fry until light golden brown on one side, then turn and fry the other side until golden.

Step 9

Drain on paper towels. Serve warm or cool.
