[Recipe:] Sata Andagi (Okinawan Doughnuts)
For those who have watched episode 21 of the popular anime series, Azumanga Daioh, this phrase might seem familiar to you: “Sata Andagi! Sata Andagi!”
What she is referring to is the Sata Andagi that she is holding in her hands, while Tomo is yelling at Osaka, “Okashi?!” (A snack? Candy?)
For those who might want to try to make these Okinawan confection, I’ve found a recipe at http://www2.rpa.net/~joeroa/andagi.htm that might just do the trick. I haven’t tried this myself, but I’d thought that I would share this knowlege with you!
