Fresh Malasdas

Malasadas are a beloved treat in Hawaii, known for their fluffy, sugar-coated texture and delightful taste. Originally brought to the Hawaiian Islands by Portuguese immigrants from Madeira and the Azores in the 19th century, malasadas quickly became a local favorite. Some variations also include flavored custards or jellies, which add a delightful surprise inside the soft, pillowy exterior.

Yield: 10 Portions Portion: 2 Each

Ingredients:

- Active Dry Yeast: 0.51 oz

- Warm Water: 3.2 oz (to activate yeast)

- Granulated Sugar (for dough): 2 oz

- Salt: 0.19 oz

- Shortening: 1.09 oz

- Whole Eggs: 1.07 oz

- Cold Water: 2.4 oz

- Vanilla Extract: 0.19 oz

- Bread Wheat Flour: 7.75 oz

- General Purpose Wheat Flour: 4.4 oz

- Nonfat Dry Milk: 0.24 oz

- Granulated Sugar (for coating): 2.13 oz

Method:

1. Activate Yeast: Dissolve yeast in 3.2 oz of warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes until frothy.

2. Cream Sugar Mixture: In a mixer, cream together 2 oz of granulated sugar, salt, and shortening.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: To the creamed mixture, add eggs, the frothy yeast solution, 2.4 oz cold water, and vanilla extract. Mix on low speed until well blended.

4. Add Flours: Sift the bread wheat flour, general purpose wheat flour, and dry milk together. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until combined. Then, mix on medium speed for about 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. Ensure the dough's temperature stays between 78°F to 82°F.

5. First Rise (Fermentation): Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place, around 80°F, until it doubles in size, about 1.5 hours.

6. Forming Dough Balls: punch down the risen dough and divide it into even pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and let rest for 10 to 20 minutes.

7. Prepare for Frying: Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1 inch thickness. Use a round cutter to cut out dough rounds. Place these on a greased baking sheet and cover; let rest.

8. Sugar Coating: Place 2.1 oz of granulated sugar in a bowl.

9. Frying: Heat oil to 375°F in a medium saucepan. Fry the dough rounds without overcrowding, turning once, until each side is golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side.

10. Coating: Drain the fried malasadas briefly on a rack, then, while still warm, toss them in the bowl of sugar to coat evenly and give you perfectly coated, delicious malasadas. Enjoy your homemade malasadas!

Transport your palate to the tropical shores with this exquisite Island Glazed Roast Duck, a recipe that combines the rich, savory flavors of duck with a sweet and tangy citrus-pineapple glaze. This dish is beautifully accompanied by fluffy white rice and a colorful medley of steamed vegetables, making each bite a perfect balance of flavors and textures.

well.

- Rub the cavity of the duck with a mixture of black pepper and ground ginger.

- Place the duck, breast side up, in a baking pan without crowding. Prick the skin of

3. Roast the Duck:

keep it moist and flavorful.

4. Finish and Serve:

- During roasting, periodically pour off the fat that accumulates in the pan.

- Once cooked, let the duck rest before slicing to ensure it retains its juices.

- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, if desired.

- Serve hot and enjoy!

Some Food for Thought

The power of admitting mistakes: building trust and fostering growth in relationships.
Acknowledging when you are wrong is a significant aspect of personal growth and relationship building. It shows humility, encourages trust, and opens up opportunities for learning and improvement. By admitting mistakes, you not only correct misunderstandings, but also show respect for the opinions and knowledge of others, which can deepen connections and enhance collaboration. Moreover, this trait is essential for creating a culture of open communication and continuous improvement in any environment, be it personal or professional.

In the Beginning…

Flair Affair Entertainment was created in 2010 by C.M. Gray, a mass communication/broadcasting student attending Colorado State University-Pueblo.

The program originally began as a university project highlighting local talent by video stream via the CSU-Pueblo TODAY online newspaper.

Eventually…

FA Ent. had joined forces with artists from around the globe, creating a network consisting of some of the very best independent artists in music genres ranging from Pop to Rock, Country to Dance, and more.

With submissions from artists coming in at an ever-growing pace and the FA Ent. audience expanding even more, we soon adopted the practice of screening each submission before final selections were made for placement on the official website.

Selected artists could now participate in our platform, enabling them to reach an even larger audience through means of our social networking and in-house/general promotions and opportunities.

Pre 2020…

From LIVE shows to music projects, radio airplay, individualized promotional campaigns, product development, and more, FA Entertainment offers services to help artists achieve their short and long-term career goals.

We like to consider ourselves the conduit, specializing in music industry connectivity.

Post 2020...

Flair Affair Entertainment is an entertainment/multimedia platform sharing a plethora of breakthrough music, video, and other creative works with our audience via our international network of artists and industry professionals.

If you would like to discuss promoting your brand or cross-promo opportunities, or simply introduce a creative concept, contact us by email at: flairaffair(at)execs(dot)com or visit the official website at: www.flairaffairentertainment.com
