Pat, I'm following the discussion with heightened interest, because I love mandazis, but I'm not much of a cook, so it's a more theoretical interest (Unless someone wants to send me his first results :-). Mandazis in Kenya are fairly sweet. (Good for me, since I'm a sugar addict.) They also often contain a lot of air. Must be big bubbles in the dough. They remind me remotely of something we call Berlinerin Germany (also the actually too generic word Pfannkuchen and also Krapfen in southern Germany), but those get some pure sugar on top and some jam or marmelade inside, and the dough is still somewhat different, but they're also fried in oil. Hans-Georg Hans Georg, I`ve written to my rafiki, Abdul (Chifu) from Malindi to see what he says. I`ve checked my Lamu and Kenya Coast books and they do use white flour. I guess it`s in the mixing of the dough, the rising and using hot oil. I dare not try making them--- too fattening! I`ve eaten some great kuchen in Germany when my sister in law was still alive and we stayed in Mulheim, but not the fried ones. Pat -- Pat Anderson |
