Method
Mix all dry ingredients together, rub the margarine into the flour with the fingertips. Add the Anchor Instant Yeast and mix.
Add the lukewarm water to the flour mixture to form a soft dough.
Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, for about 10 minutes. Cover with greased plastic and leave to rest for 5 minutes.
Knock the dough down and roll into a long strand, 3cm thick. Divide into 24 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a round ball. Place onto a lightly greased baking tray, cover with greased plastic and allow to rise in a warm place until double in volume, about 15 – 20 minutes.
In the meantime, heat the oil in a saucepan (to check when your oil is ready to fry, place the end of a wooden spoon into the oil, if bubbles start forming then your oil is ready for frying). Place the Amagwinya into your oil, top side down. Fry for about 3 minutes on the one side, turn over and fry for a further 3 minutes on the other side, until light golden brown.
Remove the fried Amagwinya and place onto brown paper / paper towel to drain excess oil and allow to cool.
Cut open the Amagwinya and spread lightly with Bovril. Add Cheddar cheese and serve.
