Hawaii: Malasada
[dx_custom_adunit desktop_id=”RTK_K67O” mobile_id=”RTK_5yk0″]
The malasada started in Portugal, moving its way to Hawaii in a 19th century immigration rush. And when native Hawaiians took one bite of the “yeast-leavened doughnut enriched with eggs, butter, and sometimes evaporated or fresh milk”, they said, “We’ll take it!” These fried and sugar-covered delicacies don’t need filling, but if you can find one, absolutely go for it.
