Malasadas

What do you do on a rainy day in Hawaii? The only answer I have to  this conundrum is- Malasadas.
 

You can find this Leonard's Malasadas truck in the Lowe's parking lot at Waikele.

 Malasadas are a Portuguese treat made with a yeasted dough, deep fried and tossed in sugar. We ordered 6 of these tossed in cinnamon sugar. Pleasantly chewy on the out side, fluffy, soft and piping hot inside. In the old days the Portuguese would make malasadas just before Lent to use up all of those sinful ingredients in the pantry, like sugar and Lard.
