About Malassada
Malassadas are a traditional Portuguese pastry, popular in Hawaii and other regions with Portuguese influence. These sweet, deep-fried dough treats are made with simple ingredients like flour, sugar, eggs, milk, and yeast, resulting in a soft and fluffy interior with a crispy, golden exterior. They are typically coated in granulated sugar and sometimes filled with custard or other sweet fillings. While malassadas offer a delicious indulgence, they are high in calories, refined sugar, and fats due to their frying process. They provide little nutritional value beyond the energy from carbohydrates and fats. Enjoying them occasionally as a treat is the best approach to maintaining a balanced diet. Malassadas are a beloved cultural food that highlights the rich culinary traditions of Portuguese cuisine, but moderation is key when savoring their sweet, enticing flavor.
