Ingredients
Instructions
- Fold all ingredients together until just combined.
- Do not overmix; the batter should be soft and slightly lumpy.
- Use an ice cream scoop to portion the batter into hot cooking oil (about 2 to 3 inches deep).
- Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider substituting half of the all-purpose flour with cake flour. If you don't have Bisquick, you can make your own by combining flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Be careful not to overmix the batter; it's okay for it to be slightly lumpy to ensure fluffy Andagi. Experiment with flavors by adding vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg for a twist.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Andagi warm as a delightful snack or dessert. They pair beautifully with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. Consider serving alongside fresh fruit or whipped cream for added indulgence. For a unique twist, enjoy them with a side of Parsnip And Apple Soup for a cozy meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Andagi in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes or until warmed through. Avoid using a microwave, as it can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk in this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute 2% milk with whole milk for a richer flavor, or almond milk for a dairy-free option. Keep in mind that the texture might vary slightly with different milk types, but the Andagi should still turn out delicious.
What oil is best for frying Andagi?
Vegetable oil or canola oil works best for frying Andagi due to their high smoke points. Avoid using olive oil, as it may impart a strong flavor and smoke at high temperatures. Ensure the oil is hot enough to achieve a golden brown crust without absorbing too much oil.
Can I freeze Andagi for later?
Yes, you can freeze Andagi! Allow them to cool completely, then place them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Reheat them in the oven from frozen for the best texture.
