Malasadas (Portuguese Donuts)

Malasadas are Portuguese donuts.  My mother makes these and she puts sugar and syrup on them.  A total treat.

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cup milk
1 Tbsp sugar
2 1/2 tsp salt
125g butter
6 large eggs, slightly beaten
1 package dry yeast
6 cups flour
Vegetable oil for deep frying
Castor sugar for coating

Method:

Heat 1 cup of milk in a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat.  Stir in the sugar, salt and butter and remove from the heat. Remove from the heat and sprinkle on the yeast.  Let stand for 5 minutes to cool.
In a large bowl, combine the milk mixture with the beaten eggs.

In another bowl mix the instant yeast in to the flour. Gradually add the flour/yeast mix into the egg mix and beat until stiff.  Move the dough to a floured board and knead until smooth and elastic.  Form dough into a ball and place in bowl coated with oil.  Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until it is double in size, approximately 2 hours.

In a deep pot, heat the oil to medium heat.  Break off golf ball sized pieces of the dough, stretch to a round shape and fry in batches the hot oil until golden brown.  Drain the Fried malasadas on paper towels and sprinkle with castor sugar.

Makes 3 dozen.

    If you have lower defence you can survive as well, but it won't be as easy. Data mining is mostly a relatively new term that represents the process by that predictive patterns are made from information.

  9. This can be flight simulator version FS2002,
    FS2004 or the latest version of Flight simulator, FSX.
    When you decide to buy the Flight Simulator Game, then first you have to be sure that exactly what are you want.
    After February 27, The Sim Online servers were shut down and
    it is now known as EA land, old account holders can still come
    back of course, and its the same game. If you are using
    your own clubs, clean it with a wet cloth at least every 2-3
    days. 3) Physical parameters: The simulators are almost real,
    but actually they are on the ground, I mean around the sea level.

  10. Therefore, if you wanted to specifically look for CNN News,
    it is right there in its own directory on the front webpage.

    He spoke slightingly but without bitterness of everything he had written, and I
    knew his new book must be very good for him to speak, without bitterness,
    of the faults of the past books. Several news reports, writers, and analysts play a crucial role in the development of global news
    undoubtedly. You can read more about Todays

    with each region having their own specialties.

  11. If you don't see any bugs or if you can't determine the reason why the plant is looking sick, take a sample in to the local county extension office.
    In addition, fertilizer restores to the soil nutrients that are absorbed by years of growing
    the same vegetable plants in the same location.

    Subtle gardening themes act upon the subconscious, and merely give the observer a
    pleasant feeling.

  12. Nanokeratin locks onto the hair, forming a fine, smooth coat of keratin.
    My hair doesn't always look good when I'm going to attend openings and red carpet events.
    The product should be one that is made for your type of hair, whether it be dry, oily, curly or straight.

  13. The Regional Animal Hospital in Yorba Linda is well equipped to
    handle the emergencies. Unlike many other medical facilities,
    the Fayette Chiropractic Center offers walk-in therapy.
    The most common injury experienced by accident victims
    is whiplash. Different from other girls, she did not wear the very sexy short dress and very high-heeled shoes, she only wore a white skirt, which suited her slim figure very much, and
    her hair was very straight, she had white and smooth skin, a pair of big eyes which could
    speak for her, I saw the unique charm in her. She was
    not the type to accept poverty and illiteracy without protest.

    For the thick and curly hair, it is best to use the Moroccan
    Oil. Almost from the time of our grandparents and other ancestors,
    the advantages of using olive oil are known to all.
    However, this solution is chemical free and some people find natural products more appealing.
