About

This dish arrived in Hawaii with the Portuguese settlers and has evolved over the years. A visit to the Fair isn't complete without enjoying hot malasadas.

Note: These snacks do not hold well but they taste great and have a hint of potato taste which is unique and gives it that "old fashion" taste

Yield:

1.0 dozen pretzels.
