How to Make Andagi Okinawan Doughnuts

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter.
  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Using a small ice cream scoop, gently drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot.
  6. Fry the Andagi for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. They will float when ready.
  7. Remove the Andagi from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
  8. Dust with powdered sugar while still warm and enjoy!
