Recipe: Easy Hawaiian Style Malasadas
Ingredients:
– 1 package active dry yeast
– 1/4 cup warm water
– 1/2 cup sugar
– 3 eggs
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1/2 cup whole milk
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 4 cups all-purpose flour
– Vegetable oil for frying
– Additional sugar for coating
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast is foamy.
2. Add sugar, eggs, melted butter, milk, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix well until combined.
3. Gradually stir in the flour, one cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness.
7. Using a round cookie cutter or a glass, cut out small circles of dough and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover them with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
8. In a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (180°C).
9. Carefully add a few dough rounds at a time into the hot oil, frying them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and puffed up.
10. Remove the malasadas from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
11. While they are still warm, roll the malasadas in sugar until coated evenly.
12. Serve the malasadas warm and enjoy the taste of the islands right at home.
