Ingredients
- 225 grams cake flour
- 5 grams baking powder (1 ½ teaspoons)
- 1.5 grams salt (⅛ teaspoon)
- 100 grams eggs (about 2 large)
- 120 grams kokutou (powdered)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (plus more for deep frying)
Instructions
- Sift 225 grams cake flour, 5 grams baking powder, and 1.5 grams salt into a bowl and whisk together to distribute evenly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 100 grams eggs, 120 grams kokutou, and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil together. It’s okay if there are still some pieces of sugar as long as they are smaller than a pea.
- Pour the egg mixture into the flour and use a spatula to knead the dough together until there are no dry spots. Be careful not to overmix the dough, or your Andagi will become tough.
- Cover this and let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- When you’re ready to start frying, preheat a pot with 1 ½ inches of oil to 340°F (170°C). Prepare a cooling rack by lining it with several layers of paper towels. You’ll also want to line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- While the oil is heating, give your hands a generous coating of oil and use your spatula to cut away ping-pong ball-sized pieces of dough and roll them between your hands to make them round. Place them on the parchment-lined baking sheet. You should have enough dough to make 14 Andagi.
- When the oil is up to temperature, add the dough balls to the oil, reshaping them as needed. They will double in size, so don’t add too many at once.
- Use uncoated wooden chopsticks to roll the donuts around every 30 seconds or so. This will ensure they cook through evenly.
- The Sata Andagi are done when they’ve split open and the edges have crisped (~5-6 minutes).
- Transfer the Okinawan doughnuts to the prepared cooling rack and let them cool completely before eating. They become more crispy as they cool.
