1
In a large mixing bowl, combine Bisquick, baking powder, and sugar, whisking together until evenly blended.

Add the egg and milk to the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth, thick batter forms with no large lumps remaining.

Pour vegetable oil into a deep heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to a depth of about 2 inches and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
8 minutes
4
Carefully drop rounded tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, working in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.

Fry the dough rounds for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning once, until they are deep golden brown and cooked through.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried malasadas to a plate lined with paper towels to drain briefly.

While still warm, roll or toss the malasadas generously in granulated sugar until fully coated on all sides.

Serve immediately while warm, as malasadas are best enjoyed fresh and will soften as they cool.
