How to make Coconut Mandazi
In a bowl, combine the flour, desiccated coconut, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Make a well in the middle, then add coconut milk, egg (if using), and melted butter or oil. Mix all to form a dough.
Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 3-5 minutes. If sticky, add just a bit more flour.
Take the dough out onto a floured surface and roll out to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into triangles or circles, whichever you prefer.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the mandazi pieces until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
Tips & Tricks
If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour until it is manageable.
Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture.
