Mofo anana (Bread with leaves)

Mofo anana (Mufu ann -n- a)

Today I learned along with another Malagasy friend how to make a very common Malagasy bread here, called Mofo anana. I was introduced to this bread by a good friend of mine in another town here in Madagascar, His Mother makes bread and sells it on the local str

eets.

I will post the video clips on Facebook for those of you interested in trying to make this wonderful Malagasy bread there in the States. I challenge you to try something different, you might like it? I love it, but have realized that only certain people make it the way that I like it, there are many variations.

Enjoy!

Recipe is:

A handful of water cres (leaves) medium to finely chopped

4 cups of flower

4 tsp Salt

1-3 tsp baking powder (if you have it) Can be done without this ingredient

1 Chicken bullion cube (crumbled up)

2 cups water

2 cups oil (to cook the mixture in)

Mix flour, salt and bullion cube. Then add water, a little bit at a time until you have a batter type consistency, a little bit runny.

When the oil is hot, not boiling - drop in a spoonful at a time, make sure that they don't touch right away. When they are golden brown take them out and add more until your mixture is all used up.

Wait for them to cool just a bit and enjoy!
