Mandazi and Chai is the ultimate breakfast in many Kenyan homes. Growing up in Kenya , it was very common to dunk a warm Mandazi, made fresh from the local bakery, in a hot cup of Chai (tea).

- In another bowl using a wooden spoon, lightly beat together butter and sugar until combined. Beat in the egg and vanilla until fully incorporated and lastly stir in the buttermilk
- Mix the dry mixture into the wet mixture and bring the dough together by lightly kneading it on a floured surface. If too wet, add more flour as needed (sometimes you'll need a lot more flour than you anticipated - that should not alarm you). Cover dough and let rest for 30 minutes
- Once rested, flour your counter top and roll the dough flat but not too thin. Using a pizza cutter cut it into squares as seen in the image

- Enjoy with a cup of spiced tea! Other servings suggestions include: sprinkled of sugar; hot and dipped in golden syrup; glazed with white or dark chocolate ganache; or served with a honey dip
