Mix the warm milk, yeast, and some of the sugar and let it foam.
Knead the flour, eggs, butter, lemon zest, salt, and yeasted milk.
Rest the dough for 40 minutes, until risen.
Pinch off small pieces of dough and shape round balls.
Heat the oil to about 175°C and fry the malasadas until both sides are golden.
Drain excess oil, coat in cinnamon sugar while hot, and serve.
💡 Tip: Do not add enough flour to stiffen the dough; a slightly sticky dough fries with a softer center.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm malasadas like a dessert plate with plain coffee, tea, or fruit compote.
