Malasadas image

Malasadas is a local treat brought to Hawaii by the Portuguese. Leonard's Bakery served the first malasadas on Shrove Tuesday in 1953. Now, it is an any day treat. This doughnut without a hole is soft, warm and sweet.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my malasadas turned out flat and greasy.

The malasadas were a bit too dense for my taste, but the glaze was delicious.

These malasadas were easy to make and turned out great! I used a donut cutter to cut out the dough and they cooked evenly.

These malasadas were so delicious! They were light and fluffy, and the glaze was the perfect amount of sweetness. I will definitely be making these again.
