M is for MALASADA

M-MALASADA

Warm sugary bites of heaven!

Every culture has some form of fried sweet dough.

The Hawaiians have adopted the Portuguese doughnut without a hole, or Malasada.

I was told the the word Malasada means “ Poorly Made” in Portuguese 

but there is NOTHING poorly made about a good Malasada.

  The BEST ones are made of a soft yeast dough fried while you wait.
Malasadas in Portugal are not filled

 but in Hawaii they are sold plain or with  
flavored filling and served still warm.

Malasadas are made fresh all day long at TEX
 so that they can always be sold warm.

Plain and Simple but still Delicious!

Rolled in LOTS of Sugar

Vanilla and Chocolate Bavarian Cream

   

Guava and Mango Filled

 My all time favorite was filled with Lilikoi Hot Pepper Jelly 
the combination of HOT and SWEET was ONO (DELICIOUS) . 

The warm Malasada is then rolled in the sugar of your choice Plain, Cinnamon, or Li Hing Mui. 

Plain Malasadas made at the local Catholic Church for
Malasada Day (Shrove Tuesday)

You can order with no filling and if you are taking home 
and not eating them warm that is the way to go. 

 WE ONLY order ONE each because
we would eat them all on the way home!
