Okinawan doughnuts
Ingredients
- 3 quarts salad oil for deep frying
- 1 bag (18 oz) fresh poi
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 C. sugar
- 1 t. vanilla
- 2 ½ C. flour
- 2 ½ t. baking powder
- ¼ to ½ C. water
Method
In a deep skillet, heat oil to 350-degrees. In a large bowl, combine poi, eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Mix well. Combine flour and baking powder; add to poi mixture. Stir until dry ingredients are moist, adding enough water to make a smooth, thick batter. Drop teaspoonfuls of batter into the hot oil; fry until doughnuts rise to surface and are golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Makes 15 to 20 doughnuts.
Looks good. I am going to try it.
