MANDAZI (AFRICAN DONUTS)
These amazingly soft triangle-shaped donuts are very famous in East Africa where I come from. They are excellent with a cup of tea or coffee. The dash of cardamom adds an authentic taste which makes it different from regular donuts. You can serve it with either honey or jam. Could be also served with curry - that is how we like it...

Steps:
- Combine milk, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, sugar, egg, instant yeast, salt, and cardamom in a large bowl. Mix in flour, 1 cup at a time, until dough comes together and is easily handled. Knead dough on a flat work surface until no longer sticky.
- Put dough back in the bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Press dough down gently. Knead it briefly and divide it into 4 portions. Roll each portion into a ball; keep covered with a cloth to prevent them from drying out.
- Roll 1 ball into a 1/3-inch-thick circle on a floured work surface. Cut into 4 triangles using a pizza cutter. Repeat with remaining balls of dough, keeping other dough covered.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan over medium heat. Fry dough triangles 3 or 4 at a time, without overcrowding, until puffed like balloons, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn and continue frying until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes more. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining dough.

Steps:
- In a small bowl mix the yeast and warm water together, and stir. Let sit for 5 minutes until yeast dissolves. In the bowl of your mixer, add flour, salt, cardamom, and cinnamon, and mix until well combined. Add vegetable oil, egg, coconut milk, and yeast mixture. Using the hook attachment mix everything until the dough is not too sticky and it does no longer stick to the side of the bowl, add additional flour as needed. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rest for about 1 hour until the dough rises a bit. Heat oil in a frying pan or a wok works. Cut the dough in about 6 pieces to make it easier to roll and cut. Roll each piece so that the dough is about 1-centimeter or less than 1/2-inch in thickness. Cut into triangles and place in hot oil. Fry on both sides. Place donuts on paper towels to soak up the oil. Repeat with remaining dough. Sprinkle with powder sugar. These donuts are best served fresh and hot.

Steps:
- Combine sugar, water, ginger, lemon zest, and lemon juice together in a saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and cook for 10 minutes. Cool syrup to room temperature, transfer to a container, and refrigerate until flavors blend, 8 hours to overnight.
- Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Rub the butter into the flour mixture with your fingertips until mixture has a cornmeal texture. Add the milk; mix until a smooth dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 2 hours.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and roll into a 5x14-inch rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Cut the dough into twenty eight 1/2-inch wide strips. Twist pairs of strips together and pinch the ends together. Repeat for all of the strips. Cover strips with a clean cloth and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Heat about 2-inches of oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a wire rack over a baking sheet.
- Pour some of the cold syrup into a bowl and return remaining syrup to the refrigerator.
- Working in batches, fry koeksister twists in hot oil until twists swell and are golden brown, 2 to 5 minutes. Remove koeksisters from hot oil with a slotted spoon and immediately immerse in cold syrup for 10 seconds. Transfer soaked koeksisters to prepared wire rack to cool. Replenish cold syrup as necessary.

Steps:
- Warm the water up to 80 deg. (about 2 minute and a half in the microwave).
- Take about 2 ounces of that water and put in a small cup or plastic bowl.
- Let the rest of the water stand aside.
- Pour the yeast in the 2 oz warm water and mix slowly with 1 teaspoon of sugar.
- Cover and let stand.
- In a large deep bowl that has a cover, mix the flour, sugar and pinch of salt.
- Make a hole in the mix and pour in the risen yeast. Take a whisk (we use our fingers in Africa) and mix until blended. DO NOT USE AN ELECTRIC WHISK.
- Check that the remaining water previously put aside is still warm; if not, re-warm it for about 30 seconds.
- Pour in the water bit by bit, mixing vigourously each time, until you obtain a paste with a consistency just before that of a cake mix. Stop pouring the water and discard the rest, if any.
- Mix again for about 5 minutes. Close the bowl and put in the oven for about 2 and a half hours.
- After that time, you can see that the paste had risen for about 2 or 3 times what it was before, so choose the bowl wisely.
- Pour the vegetale oil ( about 30 oz.) in a deep sauce pan. The sauce pan has to be small and deep enough so that the oil fills it at least to the middle.
- Heat the oil until very hot. Put the heat down to medium, wait 1 minute.
- Mix the paste a bit to bring it down and start putting the paste in the oil using a tablespoon, one at the time, until there is no more space left in the pan. In Africa, again, we use our fingers for this part, dipping it in water now and then so that it won't stick.
- REMEMBER to dip the tablespoon in water now and then so that the paste won't stick to it.
- Turn it over now and then and control the heat; let it cook to a deep golden color. Too much heat will burn the outside while the inside is not cooked. Not enough heat will make the oil fill in the donuts.
- Remove the donuts from the oil and put in a colander covered with tissue paper to absord the oil.
- Serve warm.
- This recipe sounds long and difficult to make, but once you make it the first time, you'll see that there is nothing to it. I make it in 20 minutes for the mixing, 20 minutes for the frying.
- TIP: If you don't want to wait 2 hours for the paste to rise, put in the oven and turn the oven on to warm. It should rise in 30 minutes.

- In a large, sauce pan pour vegetable oil , until it is at least 3 inches (or about 5 centimeters) high (too little will result in flatter balls), and place on medium heat until oil is 375 degrees.
- I use my hands to scoop up the batter , you can do the same or use 2 spoons - one to scoop up the batter, and another spoon or spatula to drop it in the oil- in the shape of a ball. Do not overcrowd the pan. Do so in batches
