COCONUT AND CARDAMOM MANDAZI
The coastal Kenyan-style mandazi are laced with freshly ground cardamom. Powdered (confectioners') sugar isn't a traditional addition, but it makes for a lovely presentation. If you wish to serve without the powdered sugar, add a touch more granulated sugar to your dough to make up for it.

Steps:
- Heat 1/2 inch of the oil in a heavy-bottomed pan, pot or Dutch oven fitted with a deep-fry thermometer over medium heat to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line a large plate or baking sheet with paper towels.
- Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cardamom, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.
- Make a well in the center and pour in the coconut milk and egg. Starting in the middle, use a rubber spatula to mix together, gradually incorporating the flour until a sticky dough forms. On a lightly floured work surface, knead the dough until smooth, adding a tablespoon of flour at a time as needed to keep your hands from sticking.
- Turn the dough out onto a clean lightly floured work surface. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a 1/4-inch-thick rectangle. Cut the mandazi into about two dozen 2-inch squares or rectangles.
- Working in batches, fry the mandazi, using a spider to turn so both sides cook evenly, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Drain on the prepared plate. Dust on top a light blanket of confectioners' sugar. Mandazi are best enjoyed warm.
