Ube Malasadas
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 3 cups flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ cup melted butter
- ½ cup evaporated milk
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon ube extract
- oil for deep frying
- ube custard optional
Instructions
- In a stand mixer bowl, add flour, sugar, and instant yeast and mix together quickly. Add eggs, milk, salt, and ube extract. Mix until uniform.
- Cover and let the dough proof. The common rule of thumb is to let it double in size. Depending on your ambient temperature, this will take 30 – 60 minutes.
- Heat your frying oil to 350° F. Feel free to shape your malasadas, but it's not necessary. (Punahou drops scoops of dough). I recommend making them smaller and flatter to cook thoroughly.
- Fry the malasadas until brown and crispy on all sides. Cover with as much sugar as will cling to the malasada.
- (optional) Fill with ube custard
