Directions

120 min.
1. Step

Heat the milk in a saucepan until it's warm to the touch (about 110 degrees), then pour it into a large mixing bowl and stir in the yeast and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it is bubbly.

2. Step

Whisk the eggs into the yeast mixture until fully mixed.

3. Step

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Gradually add this to the egg and yeast mixture, stirring continuously.

4. Step

Mix in the melted butter until the dough is combined and sticky.

5. Step

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until it’s soft and elastic. Place the dough into a greased bowl, cover with a cloth and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 to 1.5 hours until it doubles in size.

6. Step

On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness and cut it into squares or round shapes.

7. Step

Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan until it reaches 350 degrees. Fry the squares of dough until they’re golden brown on both sides.

8. Step

Remove the malasadas from the oil with a slotted spoon and let them drain on a paper towel.

9. Step

Lastly, roll each malasada in the bowl of sugar until it’s fully coated and serve warm.
