"Leonard's Bakery of Quality" is the originator: The first to sell malasadas in Hawaii. Leonard's is probably the first to misspell them too.
Oh, Leonards makes all the other regular bakery fare, but if you go, don't pass up a chance to indulge in this Portuguese (and now Hawaiian) tradition.
Malassadas (properly spelled with two S's) are sometimes referred to as Portuguese pancakes, but are more accurately described as Portuguese donuts without the holes. The name literally means "badly cooked." They are essentially fried batter. Leonard's offers them in several varieties, including original, cinnamon, custard filled (Mmmm), chocolate filled and coconut cream filled (also Mmmm). The Leonard's version is said to be less oily than the traditional variety, but still plenty heavy. These are DELICIOUS, but eat in moderation. Too many, and you'll lose all motivation to do anything but lay around all day!

Re: Honolulu, HI, USA - Leonard's Bakery
Thu, September 8, 2005 - 11:04 PMYum! While I'm usually a fruit glutton when on the islands, these Portuguese puffs sound like they'd satiate my guilty desire for donuts :)
