MALASADAS (PLAIN OR HAUPIA FILLED)

Steps:

• Heat the milk in a glass liquid measuring cup in the microwave for 1 minute. In the bowl of a stand mixer*, combine the hot milk with the yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar. Stir lightly, and let sit until the mixture is foamy*, about 5 minutes (*see "tips" above).
• Using the dough hook and beat the eggs, butter, 1/4 cup sugar and salt into the yeast mixture. Add half of the flour (2 cups plus 1/4 cup), and mix until combined, then mix in the rest of the flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. It's ok if it is still a little tacky (see picture above). Add more flour, about 2 tablespoons at a time, if the dough is still too sticky.
• Grease a large bowl with a little oil. Transfer the dough to the bowl, and cover with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray (so the dough won't stick to it if it rises a lot). Let rise at room temperature until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
• Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface, and cut into 16 equal pieces. Take each piece and pinch into a ball shape being careful not to overwork. Once it's nice and round, pat each piece between your hands, flattening it out a little so it looks like a fat disc. Optional: Place each dough piece on a 4" square of parchment paper, this will make it easier to handle gently and put in the oil after they rise. Cover dough pieces with a kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place until they puff up, about 45 minutes.
• About 10 minutes before the doughnuts are done rising, heat oil to 350-degrees in a deep fryer or Dutch oven (I actually used my electirc fondue pot and it worked perfectly). Carefully add the malasadas to the oil, a few at a time. Be careful not to crowd them. When the bottoms are deep golden, after 45 seconds to a minute, use a metal slotted spoon or wooden chopstick to flip; cook until they're deep golden all over.
• Use a slotted spoon or oil strainer to carefully remove malasadas to a plate or cooling rack lined with paper towels.
• Once the malasadas are cool enough to handle (but still very warm), roll in sugar until well coated and set aside. Serve immediately.

MALASADAS, HAWAIIAN DONUTS RECIPE - (4/5)

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.
