  5. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and allow to rest for 15 minutes.

  9. When ready, transfer to a paper towel lined bowl and fry the remaining pieces.
  10. Allow for the mandazi to cool down then, make a small cut at the centre of each piece where you will stuff them with the whipped cream.
