Preparation

Step 1

Sift dry ingredients in a bowl and stir. Beat together eggs, condensed milk, and water in a different bowl. Add this egg mixture to sifted dry ingredients, slowly adding 1/3 of the mixture at a time. Add 1 ½ tsp. vanilla. Mix well until dry ingredients are moistened and dough is smooth.

Slowly drop ball shaped pieces of dough into hot oil. Fry until doughnuts rise to the surface and turn golden brown. Drain the oil on a paper towel lined cooling rack.

Notes:
Use two spoons to scoop the dough. With one spoon scoop the batter against the edge of the bowl, scraping off any excess dough. Now scrape the batter onto the other spoon, making sure there isn't any batter dripping off the bottom of the spoon. This makes it nice and round. That way, there won't be a 'tail' on the andagi. Drop the batter into the oil, keeping it close to the oil. I found that using spoons was much easier than dropping them in with your hands. And it's a lot less messy too.
