Malasadas

This is the kind of Hawaiian snack you’ll make on repeat — all-purpose flour and sugar, 90 minutes, big payoff. It is weeknight cooking that still hits your targets — 12 grams of protein per serving. Simple enough for a Tuesday, good enough to serve to guests — that is the whole idea.

Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 3 Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 1/4 cup Butter
• 2 tsp Active dry yeast
• 4 cups Vegetable oil

Steps

1. Knead the enriched dough until silky and elastic; rise 1 hour until doubled and puffy.
2. Pinch off egg-sized pieces and stretch gently — malasadas are irregular, never perfect rounds.
3. Fry at 350°F for 2–3 minutes per side until deep golden and puffed like little pillows.
4. Roll in sugar while hot and eat within the hour; a malasada waits for no one.
5. Malasadas wait for no one — fry, sugar, and eat within the hour or do not bother.
