Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 120 grams Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 liter Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Add the sugar and stir to combine evenly.
In a separate smaller bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk and vanilla extract (if using).
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Using a spoon or your hands, mix until you have a smooth, slightly sticky dough.
Cover the dough and let it rest for about 10 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 160°C (320°F). The oil should be deep enough to fully submerge the doughnuts.
Using lightly floured hands, scoop out small portions of the dough (about the size of a golf ball) and gently roll them into spheres.
Carefully lower a few dough balls at a time into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. They will sink initially but should rise to the surface as they cook.
Fry the doughnuts for about 4-5 minutes, turning them occasionally to ensure even browning. They should be golden brown and crisp on the outside.
Remove the fried doughnuts with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your Sata Andagi with tea or coffee!
