Sata andagi mix



"Sata andagi mix "is a product that makes sata andagi at home easily if you have eggs and salad oil.
Add eggs and salad oil or butter to the mix, form into rounds with the palms of your hands, and fry in oil.
The secret is to fry them slowly at a low temperature, and they are done when the cracks characteristic of sata andagi begin to form.

The freshly fried sata andagi is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
"We also have brown sugar andagi mix "and "red sweet potato andagi mix ", so I recommend comparing them.
You can make not only sataa andagi, but also pancakes, cookies, and other sweets.

Another key point of the mix is that you can arrange the finished sata andagi, for example, by adding ice cream on top.
Even children can make it easily, making it a great way to enjoy parent-child time.

It can be used not only with taco rice, but also with pasta, French fries, and in an infinite number of other arrangements.
