Sata Andagi, often referred to as Okinawan doughnuts, are a beloved treat from the beautiful islands of Okinawa, Japan. These delightful pastries boast a crispy, golden-brown exterior, encasing a fluffy and airy interior. With a hint of sweetness and a touch of vanilla, they make for a perfect snack or dessert. Traditionally enjoyed at festivals and family gatherings, Sata Andagi represents the warm spirit of Okinawan hospitality. Enjoy them fresh and warm, dusted with powdered sugar for that perfect touch of sweetness.
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- 2 cups
- Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup
- Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon
- Egg
- 1, large
- Milk
- 1/2 cup
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Vegetable oil
- for frying
- Powdered sugar
- for dusting
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
- In a deep pot or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove the sata andagi from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
- Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter.
- Before serving, generously dust the sata andagi with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.
Tips
- For a unique twist, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to the batter for added flavor.
- Serve these doughnuts warm for the best texture.
- They can be paired with a dipping sauce like a sweet chocolate sauce or honey for extra indulgence.
