Fat Tuesday Hawaiian Style ( Discovery # 5: I Love Malasadas)

Fat Tuesday means one thing in Hawaii...  malasadas.   Malasadas are a Portuguese doughnut basically.
The Portuguese brought them to the Hawaiian Islands when they immigrated here in the late 1870's.
They would make them at home, and eat them on the day before lent.  In the 1950's Leonard's on Oahu was opened, and introduced them to the public.  There are now many places throughout the Islands to get them, I have been to Leonard's, and oh my, they are amazing.  Leonard's: 933 Kapahulu Ave
