That last photo really got to me. It looks so tender and sweet, just as I remember. You really nailed it, Greg. However, I do adore the cream-filled ones. Would love to go to the bakery and taste them all!
I love doughnuts and these look delicious! Interesting to know the Portuguese brought them to Hawaii. As always your blend of cooking and history are the best!
Oh, my goodness, Greg! These look fine. Looks like an ideal recipe for me, substituting allulose for the sucrose. Zero calories from sugar with allulose. I'll let you know how mine come out. The deep fat frying needs some thought, for me at least.
For frying use one of the oils I suggested and monitor the temp as the oil heats up. I use a Thermapen, but any instant-read thermometer that can measure up to 400 degrees F. Will be fine. Fry malasadas at 360 to 365 degrees. Bring temp back to 360 before frying each batch. Have fun!

I like them, too, Dianne, but the fillings tend to shroud the malasada’s beguiling texture.

Aloha, Marie, I really appreciate your comment. Malasadas are such fun to make and eat!

Better yet, you come for a visit!
Gosh! I knew Hawaii was on my list of places to visit but it wasn't in my top ten. Until now 😮.
