Okinawan Andagi Donut

This is my version of portion-controlled snacking - this makes 12 small andagi bites.  I remember Mom & Dad making this with a wet thick batter that made a lot for family gatherings.  Since my household is small now, these little donuts are just right and easy to make since the dough is easier to control and clean up.  I remember all the batter drippings around the stove top and how hard it was to clean, although I do recall the crispy tails from their version was my favorite.  This still makes me happy thinking about that family time.
