Half Dozen of Leonard's Malasadas
I definitely had to hunt around to come up with something I wanted to use for half. This is a half dozen Malasadas. Malasadas are yeast donuts that are either rolled in sugar or filled with a custard. These are from the Leonard's truck on Oahu Hawaii. They are a Portuguese tradition and very popular on the Hawaiian Islands. The minimum amount sold is a half-dozen. They are very rich but we had no problems eating the half-dozen!

Seeing those donuts made me miss Krispy Kreme's which used to be available in Hong Kong but, alas, no longer! ;(

In Canada these are filled with jam and called "jam busters". Used to love them when I was a kid. But I like the idea of custard better (such fond memories of eating those famous Portuguese custard tarts in Lisbon).
How can you eat those and be so slim! *envy*

I love this theme because people are coming up with things I never thought about, like "half" dozen. Somehow malasadas sounds more delicious than donuts. Great take on the theme!

That's a great idea for the theme. They look so good I fear that I could eat the whole half dozen myself.

We can get a Polish variety of those around here - filled with custard or plum jam. YUM It would be hard to stop at a half dozen.
