Hawaiian Malasadas: Yeast Donut Delight

Delicious donuts with a delicate, pleasant taste! You can be an excellent cook, you can cook food from all countries, peoples and times, but if you don’t know how to make punahou, then you will never gain popularity among your friends. Punahous are yeasted sour dough donuts brought to your home by the "red riding hoods" on a tough mission to raise public funds. However, "punahou" is the local name for the delicacy. All over the world it is called "malasadas". Naturally, the culinary recipe for punahou differs from the recipe for malasadas, at least in that they are baked in Hawaii.

For the recipe you will need: flour, milk, eggs, yeast, butter, vegetable oil for frying, salt, sugar.

Step 2

Step 2
Dissolve sugar and yeast in 100 ml of warm milk, cover with a saucer and let stand for 10 minutes to activate the yeast. As soon as foam appears on the surface, the yeast has started working.

While the yeast is activating, separate the yolks from the whites.

Step 4

While the oil is heating up, take the dough in small portions, roll it out to about 0.5 cm thick and cut out future donuts.
