Malasadas Hawaiian Donuts Recipe 45

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in 1/4 cup warm water; set aside.
• In small bowl, beat eggs until thick.
• Put flour in large bowl, making a well in the center. Into the well add yeast, eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, melted butter, milk, 1 cup water, and salt. Beat thoroughly to form a soft, smooth dough. Cover, let dough rise until doubled.
• Heat oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Drop dough by big teaspoonfuls into oil, fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels, shake in a bag of sugar to coat, and serve hot.

Steps:

• In a bowl, dissolve yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar, and water, and set aside. In a separate bowl, beat eggs, and set aside. Measure flour into a separate mixing bowl and add salt. Make a well in the flour, pour yeast mixture, eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, butter, 1 cup water, and evaporated milk. Beat in circular motion until the dough is soft. Cover, let raise until double. Turn dough over but do not punch down. Cover and let raise again. Heat oil to 375°F and drop dough by the teaspoon into oil and cook until brown. If the malasadas have a tendency to come out with the center still doughy, turn the heat down on the oil which will allow them to cook longer. Toss with sugar while still warm. Best served hot.
