Hawaiian Malasadas

Step by stepInstructions

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk with a pinch of sugar and let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs; knead into a soft, sticky dough.
3. Cover and let rise in a warm spot until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
4. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough into the oil, frying in batches until puffed and deep golden, about 3 minutes per side.
5. Drain briefly and roll immediately in the remaining sugar. Serve warm.
