Take a leaf out of Loulou’s book and create a real morning feast and serve with pots of fragrant chai tea

1. Place all dry ingredients in the bowl of the mixer equipped with the dough hook. Make a well in the centre and add the melted butter. Start mixing and slowly incorporate the water to make a dough (if too wet add a little more flour). Knead for 10 minutes (you can also do this by hand if you prefer).
2. Cover with a damp cloth and leave to rise until doubled in size (about an hour to an hour and a half).
3. Once the dough has risen enough, knock back the air with one punch.
4. Place the dough on work surface and knead again for a few minutes.
5. Divide the dough into 5 equal parts and roll each into a ball.
6. On a lightly floured work surface roll each ball out into a circle about 2 cm thick.
7. Cut each circle into 4 triangles.
8. Place each segment onto an oiled baking sheet. Cover with a damp tea towel and leave to rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
9. When you are ready to cook the mandazi, heat the sunflower oil in a deep pan until it reaches 180°C (if the oil gets too hot it will burn the mandazi, so try to keep it at a constant temperature by using a thermometer). Once the oil has reached the required temperature, fry a couple of mandazi at a time, whilst continuously turning them, until they become dark golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and leave to drain on kitchen paper.
10. When ready to eat, dust with icing sugar.
11. Enjoy with a delicious cup of chai tea!
