Answer 1

They are called Malasadas in hawaii. Its dough that you deep fry and when you take it out you roll it in sugar/ or sugar and cinnamon. You can also stuff it with custard filling ( that tastes sooo good). My grandma had went to Louisiana for Sugar Bowl and bought back some beignet mix which is similar to a malasada but a bit more rich and with powdered sugar instaead of cane. i hoipe this was of help i would give you the recipe but I have no idea whats in that dough google it hehehe.
