Amagwinya

Amagwinya is South Africa's take on a doughnut. This indulgent treat is the perfect alternative to croissants. Before heading to work or school, make sure you pick up some of these treats. You can eat the amagwinya on its own, or top it with jam, curry, cheese or cold meat to make a more filling breakfast. Amagwinya
