How To Make Malasadas

A tutorial on How to Make Malasadas With Sister Fran!

A malasada (or malassada) is a Portuguese confection related to the doughnut, or more appropriately the Paczki and its variants. Pronounced "Mel-a-sa-dish". They were first made by inhabitants of São Miguel Island, part of the Azores. Malasadas are made of egg-sized balls of yeast dough that are deep-fried in oil and coated with granulated sugar. A popular variation is where they are hand dropped into the oil and people have to guess what they look like. Traditional malasadas contain neither holes nor fillings, but some varieties of malasadas are filled with flavored cream or other fillings. Traditionally, the reason for making malasadas has been to use up all the lard and sugar in the house, traditionally forbidden during Lent. They are eaten especially on Fat Tuesday - the day before Ash Wednesday. Some families associate them with Mardi Gras.
