Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Frying Pan
  • Slotted Spoon
  • Paper Towels

Ingredients:  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup sugar for coating

Instructions: 

  • Warm the milk until it's lukewarm. Add the yeast and a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the beaten eggs, melted butter, and the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan to 350°F (175°C). Shape the dough into small balls and fry them in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Remove the malasadas with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Roll them in sugar while still warm. Serve immediately.

Notes:

Best enjoyed fresh and warm.
