Ube Malasada

Ube Malasada - Hawaiian cuisine is a melting pot of local and imported flavors. An adaptation from the Portuguese, Hawaiian malasadas, are yeast-leavened doughnuts enriched with eggs, butter, and often evaporated or fresh milk. After frying, they are rolled in cinnamon sugar. Though a traditional malasada is ungarnished, in the islands they can be found with all manner of filling including coconut flavored haupia pudding or rich purple ube custard.
