Andagi (Japanese Donuts)

Today I made Andagi or Malasadas or Japanese Donuts. LOL When we were kids, my mom used to make these, especially when company would come over. We really loved it when she made these! I've made them before and they were ok, but with the deep fryer, they turn out really good cause you can regulate the oil temperature. (Boy, that sounded really geeky. LOL)Here are the Andagi frying in the fryer. for some reason, some of them would explode. Not sure why. Made them look a bit funky, but they still tasted good. :)

Here's a whole plate of them. I put them in a bag with sugar and shake shake shake them till they are covered in sugar. This works best when there is not a hole at the bottom of the bag. LOL I think I have to use sturdier bags next time, not lunch bags. ;)

Here's the recipe in case you're interested:
