2. 2
   Make sure you use the right flour which is basically one with raising agents
3. 3
   Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste and try using different flavours to have variety whenever you have them
4. 4
   You can use Coconut milk instead of regular milk, you can also add desiccated coconut to the dry flour or other spices like powdered cloves or cinnamon

   For “healthy looking” mandazis do not roll the dough too thin before frying and use the procedure I have indicated above

   In a separate bowl whisk the egg into the milk
8. 8
   Make a well at the centre of the flour and add the milk and egg mixture and slowly mix to form a dough

   Knead the dough for 3-4 minutes or until it stops sticking to the sides of the bowl and you have a smooth surface
10. 10
    Cover the dough with a damp cloth and allow to rest for 15 minutes
